The least prime greater than 17 that is the sum of four different prime numbers is 23

The least prime that is the sum of four different prime numbers is 17

That is, 17 = 2 + 3 + 5 + 7

Prime numbers greater than 17 are 23, 29, 31. 37, 41,........

Prime numbers less than 17 are 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13

How can we combine the prime numbers 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, and 13 to give the least prime number greater than 17

The only possible combination is:

2 + 3 + 7 + 11 = 23

Therefore, the least prime greater than 17 that is the sum of four different prime numbers is 23
