The only string of numbers which meet this requirement is * 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96
2/5 are prime, 8/15 are composite (and 1/15 is neither).
2 and 3 are the only consecutive prime numbers.
The product of two prime numbers will be composite.
2 and 3 are the only consecutive numbers that are prime.
They are: 90 91 92 93 94 95 and 96 which are between the prime numbers of 89 and 97
Basically, composite numbers are the non-prime numbers. Take a table of prime numbers, and look for any two prime numbers, one after the other, that have a difference greater than 2. Any numbers in between are consecutive composite numbers. For example, the next prime number after 13 is 17; that makes 14, 15, and 16 three consecutive non-primes, i.e., composite numbers.
4 ,6,8,9,10,12,14,15,16,18,20,21,24,25,26,28,30,34,35,36,38,40,44,46,48,49,50,54,56,58,60 ,64 66,68,69,70 up to so on
90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96
90 to 96
90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96That's the only set of seven consecutive composite numbers less than 100.
Any consecutive composite integers, like 34 and 35.
The numbers 2 and 3 are consecutive prime numbers. Are there other pairs of prime numbers which are consecutive numbers?
Let's try 99 and 98! 99 is 3 x 3 x 11 and 98 is 2 x 7 x 7 98 and 99 are consecutive numbers, composite numbers, less than 100 and there is no prime numbers between them!
2 and 3 are consecutive prime numbers.
No. Prime numbers cannot be composite and composite numbers cannot be prime!
2/5 are prime, 8/15 are composite (and 1/15 is neither).
The only consecutive prime numbers are 2 and 3.
