We have an ancient Greek mathematician named Eratosthenes to thank for a handy little algorithm for finding the prime numbers in a set. First step: write out all the counting numbers from 2 to the last number in your set: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14. Start with 2, that's the first Prime number. Second step: cross all the multiples of 2 (after 2) off your list of numbers. That leaves you with: 2, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13. Next step: the next prime in your list is 3. Cross off all the multiples of 3 the same way. There is only one, 9. Now you are left with: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13. The next prime in your list is 5. There are no multiples of 5 to cross off. Besides, 5 squared is 25 and that's larger than 14, so you know you're done. What's left is a list of the prime numbers less than 14: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13. Congratulations! You've just done "The Sieve of Eratosthenes." It works great for lists of prime numbers all the way up to 50, or 100 or beyond!
17 and 3 are prime numbers with a difference of 14.
The prime factorization of 14 is: 2 x 7 The prime numbers that are factors of 14 are 2 abd 7.
14 of them.
No because they are composite numbers with more than two factors
no.
The prime numbers that are less than 14 are: 2,3,5,7,11,13.
They can be: 11+3 = 14
Consecutive composite numbers less than 100 include 8-10, 14-16, 20-22 and others.

The greatest prime number less than 20 is 19. Not sure what "then twice" is unless you are wanting to double it, which becomes 38.
