You don't always. 2 + 5 = 7, for example. But all prime numbers other than 2 are odd and two odd numbers always equal an even number when added together.
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".
two is the only even prime number because only one and itself can be multiplied together to get that number.All prime numbers have two factors. All even numbers greater than two have more than that.
The only even prime number is 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 only prime even number is 2. As all the rest of even numbers are divisible by 2, they cannot be prime numbers
A number that is not a prime number is called a composite number because it can be made by multiplying prime numbers together. For example, 6 is a composite number that is the product of multiplying the prime numbers 2 and 3 together.
You can get another prime (only if one of the numbers added is 2), for example, 101 + 2 = 103. If you add together two odd prime numbers, you will get an even number, which will not be a prime number. (An even number is a number that is divisible by 2; if such a number is greater than 2, it is not a prime number.)
Look at the first 2 of these prime numbers. They cannot be even for then they would be divisible by 2, so not prime. Add them together. Two odd numbers added together make an even. Subtract this even number from 50 (also even) so the third number must be even. There is no way of adding 3 prime numbers together to make an even number.

All prime numbers are not odd numbers. 2 is an even prime number, and it is the only even prime number because all other even numbers have 2 as one of their factors.
There is only 1 even prime number which is 2

Two is even and it's a prime number. All other even numbers can never be prime though because they will always be divisible by 2. So in fact, not all prime numbers are odd, but 2 is the only even prime number.
The only prime even number is 2. As all the rest of even numbers are divisible by 2, they cannot be prime numbers
