Question

Express $53$ as the sum of three odd primes.

Answer 1

Express the given numbers as the sum of three odd primes:

The prime numbers are those whole numbers, which have only $1$ and themselves as factors.

Now, $2$ is the only even prime number and all other prime numbers are odd.

The given number is $53$.

$53$ can be expressed as $53=7+17+29$.

Here, $7,17$ and $29$ are odd prime numbers.

Hence, $\mathbf{53}$ can be expressed as $\mathbf{53}\mathbf{=}\mathbf{7}\mathbf{+}\mathbf{17}\mathbf{+}\mathbf{29}$.
