can prime number other than 2 and5 3 apart?
explain
no!
the only prime which is even is the number 2, all other primes are odd
If we add 3 to an odd number we get an even number.
e.g. 7 + 3 = 10
n and n+3
If n is even (not prime), n+3 is odd
If N is odd, n+3 is even (not prime)
2 is the only even prime number, all bigger ones are divisible by 2.
Yes, there are prime numbers that are not 2 or 5 but are 3 numbers apart. One such example is the prime numbers 5, 8, 11, 14, and so on. These prime numbers are known as "twin primes" because they have a difference of 3 between them.
To find twin primes, you can follow these steps:
1. Start with any prime number (e.g., 5).
2. Add 3 to that prime number (5 + 3 = 8) to generate the next number.
3. Check if the resulting number is also a prime number (in this case, 8 is not prime).
4. If the resulting number is not prime, repeat step 2 until you find the next prime number.
5. Repeat steps 2-4 to generate more twin primes.
Note that twin primes appear sporadically throughout the number system, so there is no formula or specific pattern to generate all twin primes. They are a special type of prime numbers that have a specific difference of 3 between each other.
