The sum of any two prime numbers may or may not be prime. The sum of the two prime numbers 2 and 3 is the Prime number 5, and the sum of the two prime numbers 5 and 7 is the composite number 12.
As long as one of the numbers isn't 2, adding any two prime numbers results in an even number. Why? 1.) Adding any two odd numbers gives an even number, 2.) adding an odd and an even gives an odd, and 3.) all primes are odd, except for 2.
2 + 3 = 5 2 + 5 = 7 2+ 11 = 13 2 + 41 = 43 The numbers only work with 2 because adding odd numbers together equals an even number. 2 is the only even prime number and thus adding any other prime numbers together will not equal a prime.
The first two prime numbers add up to another prime number.
Not quite.When two prime numbers of 3 and higher are added together, the result is always even, because all such prime numbers are odd numbers, and when two odd numbers are added together, the result is always an even number.However 2 is a prime number, and 2 is also an even number. Adding 2 (an even number) to a different prime number (an odd number) will always yield an odd number.Only if you don't include "2".
The prime number less than 10 that, when added to either 10 or 20, results in a prime number is 3. When you add 10 to 3, you get 13, which is a prime number. Similarly, when you add 20 to 3, you get 23, which is also a prime number.
No, for example you can't create the number 65, which is not a prime number, by adding any two prime numbers.
Every prime number except 2 is an odd number, so adding 1 to any prime number except 2 results in an even number.
Make sure that one of them is 2.

25 = 23 + 2
173 is the 40th prime number and when squared it produces a number with only 2 digits, 29929. It can be obtained by adding the squares of 2 and 13, or by adding the 3 consecutive prime numbers of 53, 59, and 61.

There is no set formula to make a prime number into a composite but usually adding 1 will work. A prime number has only 2 factors which are 1 and itself. Composite numbers are everything else except 1, 2, and 0.
The first two prime numbers add up to another prime number.
13 x 53 + 2= 691
