Not two DISTINCT prime factors, no. For example, 64 = 2^6 only has prime factor 2.
All even numbers which are not a power of 2 must have at least two distinct prime factors, however; one of them will, of course, be 2.

Other even prime contains at least three factors,they are 1, the number itself and 2 . So they are composite numbers.
3 consecutive numbers cannot be prime factors. Any three consecutive numbers would include at least one even number. The only even prime number is 2, and (2,3,4) doesn't qualify.
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.
Numbers with only two factors, the number itself and one, are called prime numbers. Examples of prime numbers are 2 (which is the only even prime number) and 17.
No. Any three consecutive numbers will have at least one of them which is divisible by 2, which means it cannot be prime. And since 1 is not considered a prime number, it cannot happen.
