Identify a prime number between 40 and 50.
The prime number between 40 and 50 is 43.
41 also works :)
Apologies for the oversight! You are correct. 41 is another prime number between 40 and 50.
To identify a prime number between 40 and 50, we need to check if each number within this range is divisible by any number other than 1 and itself. Here's how you can do it:
1. Start with the first number within the range, which is 41.
2. Check if it is divisible by any number from 2 to the square root of 41 (rounded up). In this case, we need to check if 41 is divisible by any number from 2 to 6 (since the square root of 41 is approximately 6.4, rounded up to 7).
3. Divide 41 by each number from 2 to 6, and check if the remainder is zero. If the remainder is zero, that means 41 is divisible by that number, and therefore not a prime number.
- 41 ÷ 2 = 20 remainder 1
- 41 ÷ 3 = 13 remainder 2
- 41 ÷ 4 = 10 remainder 1
- 41 ÷ 5 = 8 remainder 1
- 41 ÷ 6 = 6 remainder 5
4. Since 41 is not divisible by any number between 2 and 6, it is a prime number.
Therefore, 41 is the prime number between 40 and 50.
