Prime numbers between 8 and 12?

Answer 1

Well honey, let me break it down for you. The only Prime number between 8 and 12 is 11. Why? Because prime numbers are only divisible by 1 and themselves, and honey, 11 fits that bill perfectly. So there you have it, just one prime number strutting its stuff between 8 and 12.

Answer 2

The prime numbers between 8 and 12 are 11. A prime number is a natural number greater than 1 that cannot be formed by multiplying two smaller natural numbers. In this case, 11 is the only prime number within the specified range as 8 and 9 are composite numbers (numbers that have more than two factors) and 10 and 12 are also composite numbers.

Answer 3

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.
