Hello. Statement: ALL NUMBERS THAT END IN THE DIGIT 3 ARE PRIME. Counter-example: 33 Explanation: A prime number has only two factors, one and itself, so it cannot be divided evenly by any other numbers. 33 ends in the digit 3, but 33 is NOT prime. 33 may be divided evenly by integers other than 1 and 33. Specifically, 33 may be divided evenly by 3 and 11. More information on prime numbers from math.com: http://www.math.com/school/subject1/lessons/S1U3L1DP.html search strategy: "a prime number" I hope this helps. |
