A Prime number is a number that can only be divided by 1 and itself. Not all odd numbers are prime numbers; for example 9, 15, 21 can be divided by more than one and itself.
All prime numbers are odd with the only exception of the prime number 2.
However, not all odd numbers are prime.
a composite number cannot have three factors true or false an example to support the answer
They are all odd, and they are all prime numbers
All of the prime numbers are odd except for two.
Except for 2 all other prime numbers are odd. Otherwise, they would be divisible by 2 (and thus not a prime number). This does NOT mean that all odd numbers are prime, but that all prime numbers (aside from 2) are odd.
A prime number isn't divisible by anything by itself and 1. All even numbers are divisible by 2. Therefore, all prime numbers are odd.
This is because they are only two factors in that number. It may seem to you that all prime numbers odd, but it is not true. Most of them however, are prime numbers. This is why most of the odd numbers are prime numbers.
