Which of the following statements is not correct ?

  • A.All prime numbers are odd numbers.
  • B.There are infinitely many prime numbers.
  • C.A prime number has only two factors.
  • D.There are only four single digit prime numbers.

Answer: A

The statement that is not correct is all prime numbers are odd numbers.

2 is a prime number, since its only factors are 1 and itself, and it is even. It is the only even prime, so the statement fails.

The other statements are true. Euclid proved that there are infinitely many primes. A prime has exactly two factors, 1 and itself. The single-digit primes are 2, 3, 5 and 7, exactly four.
