No.

Prime numbers are numbers that can only be divided evenly by itself and 1.

For example, the number 7 can only be divided by 7 and 1.

Odd numbers are numbers that end in (or are) 1, 3, 5, 7, or 9.

For example, the number 21 is odd since it ends in a 1, but it is not prime because it

can be divided by 1, 21, 7, and 3. (7 times 3 = 21.)

2 is a Prime number and is even not odd - it is the only even prime number.
