There are many prime odd numbers -- 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, . . .

There is only one prime even number, 2.

The only number that is both prime and odd is the number 2. This is because a Prime number is defined as a number greater than 1 that has no positive divisors other than 1 and itself. Since 2 is the only even prime number, all other prime numbers are odd.
