You can work this out, Prime numbers can only be divided by themselves or 1. Therefore as 20 can be divided by 2 it it not prime. The same is true for 22 and 24. Thus the prime must be either 21 or 23. See if either of these numbers can be divided by 7, if it can then the prime must be the other number.
