The numbers after 7 are 8, 9, 10. In these 8 and 10 are even numbers, such that divisible by 2. Also 9 can be divisible by 3.
The next following number is 11, which can be only divided by 11 and 1 only.Therefore, the prime number after 7 is 11.
Prime numbers are the whole numbers larger than 1 such as 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, etc.
All prime numbers are odd numbers except the number 2 because all other even numbers are multiple of 2. Therefore 2 is called an even prime number.
