What is the definition of a consecutive prime number?
Consecutive prime numbers are two prime numbers that are next to each other, with no other prime numbers in between. For example, 3 and 5 are consecutive prime numbers.
What types of numbers can always be written as the sum of two nonzero consecutive whole numbers?
ODD NUMBERS. If you take two consecutive whole (non zero) numbers then one will be an odd number and the other will be an even number. The sum of an odd number and an even number is always an odd number.
What are all the pairs of prime numbers that are consecutive numbers?
The numbers 2 and 3 are consecutive prime numbers. Are there other pairs of prime numbers which are consecutive numbers?
Who do you know that there are no other consecutive numbers besides 2 and 3?
Both prime number
Why aren't there any other pairs of consecutive prime numbers?
Ah hah! You didn't say so, but you must be talking about 2 and 3 ... the only two consecutive numbers that are both prime numbers. There can't be any others. Because if you have any other two consecutive numbers, one of them has to be an even number ... divisible by 2. Since that number is divisible by 2, it's not a prime number.

Did number two and three are prime numbers they are also consecutive numbers. Are there other parents of prime that are consecutive numberswhy or why not?
No other prime numbers are consecutive because there aren't any other even prime numbers.
Can two consecutive numbers be even. Why or Why not?
No, because every other number in the number line is odd so therefore if you have any number of consecutive numbers you will have at least one odd number (if you're talking about consecutive numbers on a number line).
What is a consequtive number?
Consecutive numbers are numbers that follow each other. For Example: 4, 5, 6, and 7 are consecutive numbers because they are right next to each other. Any number is a consecutive number as long as it is in order. If you get a math problem like: "which numbers are consecutive numbers?" and the choices are 3, 6, 2, 4, and 9 the answer would be 2, 3, and 4 because they are consecutively going through numbers next to each other.
What are all the odd consecutive numbers?
Two odd numbers are said to be consecutive if there are no other odd numbers in between. This happens when the first number is odd, and the second number is two more than the first number.
Can two consecutive numbers be prime?
Yes.Additional Information:If you have two consecutive numbers, one of them will be an odd number and the other will be an even number. Since even numbers are divisible by 2, the only even prime number is 2. If two consecutive numbers are prime, the even number must be 2. So, because 1 is not a prime number, the only time that two consecutive numbers can be prime is in the case of 2 and 3.

23 is a consecutive two digit number Are there other two digit numbers using consecutive digits?
34, 45 etc.
Who do you know that there are no other consecutive numbers besides 2 and 3?
Both prime number
The sum of two consecutive number is 38 what is the larger number?
"Two consecutive numbers" implies that these are whole numbers. Consecutive whole numbers have different parity - that is to say that one is odd and the other even, which means that their sum must be odd. Since 38 is even the problem has no solution.
Why aren't there any other pairs of consecutive prime numbers?
Ah hah! You didn't say so, but you must be talking about 2 and 3 ... the only two consecutive numbers that are both prime numbers. There can't be any others. Because if you have any other two consecutive numbers, one of them has to be an even number ... divisible by 2. Since that number is divisible by 2, it's not a prime number.
