Question

What is the range of the first $10$ prime number?

Answer 1

Determine the range of the first $10$ prime number.

The first ten prime numbers are $2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19,23,29$.

Here, the maximum number is $29$ and the minimum number is $2$.

Now, calculate the range of the first ten prime numbers:

$\begin{array}{rcl}\mathrm{Range}& =& {\mathrm{X}}_{\max }-{\mathrm{X}}_{\min }\\ & \Rightarrow & \mathrm{Range}=29-2\\ \therefore \mathrm{Range}& =& 27\end{array}$

Hence, the required range is $27$.
