Question

The sum of three numbers is 18. If every number is a prime number, what are the three numbers?

Answer 1

2,5,11 because every number is a prime and adding thoose up equal 18

Answer 2

The three numbers are 2, 5, and 11.

The sum of 3 numbers is 18.        2 + 5 + 11 = 18

Since the problem states that every number is a prime number, then the number must be a natural number greater than 1 that has no positive divisors other than 1 and itself.

2 / 1 = 2  OR  2 / 2 = 1  These numbers are prime numbers because their divisors
5 / 1 = 5  OR  5 / 5 = 1            are 1 and itself.
11/1 = 11 OR 11/11 = 1
