Solution

Expressing 24 as a sum of two different prime numbers

Prime number: A number that has only two factors, 1 and the number itself.

We need to write all prime numbers between 1and24,

Prime numbers- 2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19,23

Next, we have to make sum of two prime numbers equal to 24.

24-2=22 , not a prime number.

24-3=21 not a prime number.

24-5=19, is a prime number.

So we can express 24=5+19 as the sum of two different primes.

Hence, 5and19 are two diierent prime numbers whose sum is 24
