What are three prime numbers that have the sum of 42?

Answer 1

The only way for three prime numbers to have a sum of 42 is if one of the prime numbers is 2, as 2 is the only even Prime number. The other two prime numbers must add up to 40, which can only be achieved by 3 and 37. Therefore, the three prime numbers that have a sum of 42 are 2, 3, and 37.

Answer 2

Three prime numbers whose sum is 42 are 23, 17 and 2
