When you add 1 to any prime number you get a number?

when you add 1 to any prime number except 2 you get a composite number.

What happens when a prime number is multiplied by another prime number?

A Prime Number is a number that cannot be exactly divided by any other number (except 1 or itself). product of prime numbers” means that we multiply prime numbers together. So, by multiplying prime numbers we can create any other whole number.

Does a prime multiplied by a prime always result in a prime Does it sometimes result in a prime Does it never result in a prime?

Prime numbers, by definition, can only be divided by themselves and 1. Therefore, if you multiply a prime number (a) by another prime number (b), not only is the new number divisible by 1 and itself, it is divisible by a and b, therefore is no longer a prime number. Same goes for non prime multiplied by non prime. YES!

How do you find primes?

To prove whether a number is a prime number, first try dividing it by 2, and see if you get a whole number. If you do, it can’t be a prime number. If you don’t get a whole number, next try dividing it by prime numbers: 3, 5, 7, 11 (9 is divisible by 3) and so on, always dividing by a prime number (see table below).

What 2 prime numbers multiplied?

When two (2) different prime numbers are multiplied together, the resultant product is a composite number because it satisfies the definition of a composite number.

How many prime triplets are there?

Similarly to the twin prime conjecture, it is conjectured that there are infinitely many prime triplets. The first known gigantic prime triplet was found in 2008 by Norman Luhn and François Morain. The primes are (p, p + 2, p + 6) with p = 2072644824759 × 233333 − 1.

What is the only prime number between 90 and 100?

97
The only number between 90 and 100 that has only two factors i.e. 1 and the number itself is 97. Therefore, the sum of prime numbers between 90 and 100 will also be equal to 97. So, the correct answer is “97”.

How to find the product of two prime numbers?

Multiply all primes up to X together then add one to the resulting primorial. The result must be either a prime or the product of primes higher than X. OK, so this number X#+1 is clearly of the form 6n+1 since the first two primes are 2*3.

What is the product of primes higher than X?

The result must be either a prime or the product of primes higher than X. If it is a prime it is a 6n-1 prime. If it is the product of primes higher than X, then at least one of them must be a 6n-1 number, since any number of 6n+1 numbers multiplied together will produce another 6n+1 number.

How many 6n+1 primes are there?

OK, so this number X#+1 is clearly of the form 6n+1 since the first two primes are 2*3. However we haven’t yet proved that there is an infinite number of 6n+1 primes, since, if it is a product of primes higher than X, those primes could be 6n-1 numbers (since an even number of 6n-1 numbers multiplied will give us a 6n+1 number).

Is there only one way to multiply three prime numbers?

If you mean multiplying 3 prime numbers, then yes there is only one way (this is known as the fundamental theorem of arithmetic ). for which α i is a prime number. Since α i is prime, it follows that Therefore, by letting N ∗ = { smallest numbers > 1 that divide n }, the only elements of N ∗ will be α 1, α 2, …, α k.
