There are only 9 numbers between 80 and 90 - so lets look at them all Remember we only need to find 1 number that will divide the number except for 1 and itself for it to be NON-PRIME. 81 - 3 will of course divide this number - so not prime. 82 - 2 will of course divide this number - so not prime. 83 - PRIME!!! 84 - 3 will of course divide this number - so not prime. 85 - 5 will of course divide this number - so not prime. 86 - 2 will of course divide this number - so not prime. 87 - 3 will of course divide this number - so not prime. 88 - 2 will of course divide this number - so not prime. 89 - PRIME!!! So, the only numbers between 80 and 90 that are primes are 83 and 89!
