Best Answer

The only prime between 8 and 12 is 11.

To find out if a number is prime, just try dividing it by all prime numbers between 2 and that number (including 2). The easiest method to do this is to write all numbers from 2 to your number down. Then cross out all numbers divisible by 2. Now cross out all numbers divisible by the next lowest number that is not crossed out (which is 3). Repeat this last step (the next number should be 5, then 7, then 11) until you reach your number, or you cross it out. If you have crossed it out, it is not a Prime number, and if it has not been crossed out it is a prime number.
