Question

Express the following as the sum of two odd primes: $36$

Answer 1

Identify the odd prime numbers that add up to the given numbers

The given number is $36$.

The prime number that is not a multiple of 2 is called an odd prime number.

There are multiple pairs of two odd prime numbers that can add up to $36$ like:

$$\begin{gathered} 5+31=36 \\ 7+29=36 \\ 13+23=36 \\ 17+19=36 \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the possible pairs of odd primes that add up to $36$ are $(5,31),(7,29),(13,29)$ and $(17,19)$.
