Answer 2

Answer:

2 is the smallest

Step-by-step explanation:

1 is not prime, because it is divisible by only one distinct counting number: 1. 2 is prime because it is divisible by two distinct counting numbers: 1 and 2. Any other even number — say, 6 — is not prime because it is divisible by more than two distinct counting numbers: 1, 2, 3, and 6.
