- Prime numbers are those which has only two factors, one is 1 and the other is the number itself.
- Odd prime numbers are those which are both indivisible by 2 and have only two factors.
- The number 13 is indivisible by 2 , hence it is odd and it has factors 1 and 13 ( two factors ). Hence it is an odd prime number.
- The number 11 is indivisible by 2 , hence it is odd and it has factors 1 and 11 ( two factors ). Hence it is an odd prime number.
- The number 5 is indivisible by 2 , hence it is odd and it has factors 1 and 5 ( two factors ). Hence it is an odd prime number .
Hence, 29 = 13 + 11 + 5
