When is the only time 1 is the difference of two prime numbers and they are 2 and 3?
As the number 2 is the only even prime number then a difference of 1 occurs only between 2 and 3. All other prime numbers are odd and therefore the minimum difference between successive prime numbers is 2.
What is the greatest difference between 2 consecutive prime numbers?
There is no limit: gaps between successive primes can be arbitrarily large. As of 2014, the largest prime gap between proven primes is 1,113,106. The two successive primes at either end have 18662 digits each. A larger gap, of 3,311,852 numbers between probable primes has been conjectured.
Is it possible for the sum or product of two prime numbers be a prime?
It is impossible for the product of two prime numbers to be prime. It is impossible for the sum of two prime numbers to be prime as long as one of the numbers isn't 2.
What two prime numbers equal 50?
There are two prime numbers that equals 50. The two numbers are 13 & 37. Both numbers are prime, so that's the answer.
What numbers are prime numbers and what numbers are composite?
Prime numbers have two factors, composite numbers have more than two.
