Question

Hassan thinks he has discovered a way to find prime numbers.
Investigate whether Hassan is correct.
I start with 11 and then add 2, then 4.
then 6 and so on.
The answer is a prime number every time.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Yes it can be a method of finding out prime numbers but all the prime numbers can't be picked up using this technique.

Step-by-step explanation:

As Hassan followed this technique

11+2=13(prime number)

13+4=17(prime number)

17+6=23(prime number)

23+8=31(prime number)

but 29 is also a prime number and using this technique he couldn't include 29 in his list.
