Open in App
Solution

66 can be written as

66=1+65 (1 is neither a prime number nor a composite number)

66=2+64 (2 is an even prime while 64 is a composite number)

66=3+63 (63 is a composite number)

66=4+62 (Both 4 and 62 are composite number )

66=5+61. Clearly, both 5 and 61 are odd prime numbers.

Thus, 66 can be expressed as sum of 5 and 61.
