Example Question #2 : How To Find Out If A Number Is Prime
Which is the greater quantity?
(a) The number of primes between 20 and 50
(b) The number of primes between 10 and 40
(a) is greater.
It is impossible to tell from the information given.
(b) is greater.
(a) and (b) are equal.
(b) is greater.
The primes between 20 and 40 are included in both sets, so all we need to do is to compare the number of primes between 40 and 50 with the number of primes between 10 and 20.
(a) The primes between 40 and 50 are 41, 43, and 47 - three.
(b) The primes between 10 and 20 are 11, 13, 17, and 19 - four.
Since the number of primes between 10 and 20 outnumbers those between 40 and 50, the number of primes between 10 and 40 outnumber those between 20 and 50. Therefore, (b) is the greater.

and
are equal.
A prime number is a natural number greater than that can be divided only by
and itself.
The prime numbers between and
are:
The prime numbers between and
are:
So and
are equal.

A prime number is a natural number greater than that can be divided only by
and itself.
The prime numbers between and
are:
The prime numbers between and
are:
So there are five prime numbers between and
and there are five prime numbers between
and
too. Therefore
and
are equal.
Example Question #16 : Prime Numbers
