If you add a prime number and a prime number will the sum always be prime?
If you add two prime numbers that are odd numbers, the sum will be an even number. Because even numbers are divisible by 2, no even number greater than 2 is a prime number. Here are some examples:3 + 3 = 6 which is an even number and thus not a prime number5 + 7 = 12 which is an even number and thus not a prime number11 + 13 = 24 which is an even number and thus not a prime number19 + 41 = 60 which is an even number and thus not a prime numberIf you add a prime number that is odd to the only even prime number (2), you will have an odd number. This odd number might be prime or might be composite. Here are some examples:2 + 3 = 5 which is a prime number2 + 7 = 9 which is a composite number2 + 23 = 25 which is a composite number2 + 41 = 43 which is a prime numberQuestion what is zero = composite0 x 1 = 00 x 4 = 00 x 16 = 00 x 64 = 0
