Not all prime numbers are odd. There is one Prime number that is even: 2. A prime number is a number with two and only two factors: 1 (also known as unity) and itself. A composite number is a number with more than two factors. All even numbers are divisible by 2. Thus, all even numbers have 2 as a factor, which means that all even numbers greater than 2 have more than two factors, so they cannot be prime numbers.

No, not all numbers that are odd are prime, such as: 1 (natural number) and 15 (composite number) Same thing with all the even numbers for example: 2 is prime. Prime definition: numbers that have only 2 factors (1 and itself).

A prime number has only 2 factors which are 1 and itself. Composite numbers are everything else except 1 and 0. 1 and 0 are neither prime, nor composite. Not all odd numbers are prime.
