There is only one pair of consecutive prime numbers, and the prime numbers are two and three, because any pair of consecutive numbers has one odd and one even number, and two is the only even Prime number, because all other even numbers can be divided by two, and the only pairs of consecutive numbers are one and two and three, but one is not prime because it only has one factor, thus making the only consecutive pair of primes two and three. But the problem asks for the product of the two numbers, not the numbers themselves, so just multiply two and three together to get a final result of six.

What are two consecutive prime numbers called?
2 and 3 are the only consecutive numbers that are prime.
Is the product of two prime numbers composite or prime?
The product of two prime numbers will be composite.
Can two consecutive numbers be prime?
Yes.Additional Information:If you have two consecutive numbers, one of them will be an odd number and the other will be an even number. Since even numbers are divisible by 2, the only even prime number is 2. If two consecutive numbers are prime, the even number must be 2. So, because 1 is not a prime number, the only time that two consecutive numbers can be prime is in the case of 2 and 3.
Can two consecutive whole numbers whole numbers be prime?
The only two consecutive whole numbers that are prime numbers are 2 and 3. Otherwise, every second consecutive whole number in sequence is even, and being multiples of 2, they cannot be prime.
What is the greatest common factor of two consecutive numbers?
The GCF of two consecutive numbers is always 1. The GCF of any set of numbers can't be greater than the smallest of the differences between the numbers.
What one-digit number is the product of two consecutive prime numbers?
There are only two prime numbers that are consecutive numbers, 2 and 3. Their product is 2 x 3 = 6. The first prime numbers are 2, 3, 5, and 7 and the only two consecutive prime numbers whose product is a single digit are 2 and 3. (The next two consecutive prime numbers, 3 and 5, have a two-digit product.)
What two consecutive prime numbers make 6?
The prime numbers 2 and 3 have 6 as their product when multiplied.
What two consecutive whole numbers have a product which is a prime number?
1 and 2, whose product is 2.
What are two consecutive prime numbers called?
2 and 3 are the only consecutive numbers that are prime.
What two consecutive prime numbers have a product of 1517?
They are 37,41 (1517 = 37 x 41).
What 2 consecutive odd numbers when added together equal the product of the 1st and 4th prime number?
The product of the first and fourth prime numbers (2 x 7) is 14. No two consecutive odd numbers add up to 14.
Why can't two consecutive whole numbers be prime?
In fact, they can. 2 and 3 are consecutive prime numbers.For larger numbers, one of two consecutive numbers will always be even, and therefore, not a prime.In fact, they can. 2 and 3 are consecutive prime numbers.For larger numbers, one of two consecutive numbers will always be even, and therefore, not a prime.In fact, they can. 2 and 3 are consecutive prime numbers.For larger numbers, one of two consecutive numbers will always be even, and therefore, not a prime.In fact, they can. 2 and 3 are consecutive prime numbers.For larger numbers, one of two consecutive numbers will always be even, and therefore, not a prime.
What prime number between 60 and 80 is one more than the product of two numbers that are consecutive numbers?
73
What is the product of two consecutive prime numbers in between 1000 and1500?
1049 x 1051 = 1102499
Did number two and three are prime numbers they are also consecutive numbers. Are there other parents of prime that are consecutive numberswhy or why not?
No other prime numbers are consecutive because there aren't any other even prime numbers.
Is the product of two prime numbers composite or prime?
The product of two prime numbers will be composite.
What prime number between 60 and 80 is one more then the product of two factors that are consecutive numbers?
73
