| 450880 | 2006-04-30 09:11:00 | what is the smallest even prime number?? | robsonde (120) | ||
| 450881 | 2006-04-30 09:23:00 | 2 | gcarmich (10068) | ||
| 450882 | 2006-04-30 09:25:00 | oh - and all the rest are odd | gcarmich (10068) | ||
| 450883 | 2006-04-30 10:25:00 | Hmm I don't really see what's interesting about that. | roddy_boy (4115) | ||
| 450884 | 2006-04-30 10:28:00 | thing is that most people dont know that 2 is prime, they automaticly think that to prime it must be odd. | robsonde (120) | ||
| 450885 | 2006-04-30 10:31:00 | 2 is an odd number? :illogical elaborate... |

| 450886 | 2006-04-30 10:34:00 | An integer greater than one is prime if its only positive divisors are itself and one 2 can only be divided by itself (2) and 1 |

| 450887 | 2006-04-30 10:44:00 | 2 is an odd number? :illogical elaborate... robsonde was saying that most people assume all primes are odd, and hence a lot of people don't think 2 is prime. But it is. |

| 450888 | 2006-04-30 10:47:00 | An integer greater than one is prime if its only positive divisors are itself and one Just to be pedantic, the actual definition of a prime is a natural number with exactly 2 unique natural factors. |

| 450889 | 2006-04-30 10:48:00 | 1 + 2 = 3 4 + 5 + 6 = 7 + 8 9 + 10 + 11 + 12 = 13 + 14 + 15 Now this is interesting. |
