Answer:

It can never be a prime number.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because the product of the two prime numbers are divisible by those two numbers, therefore going against the definition of a prime number. For example 3 and 5 are prime numbers and their product is 15. 15 can be divided by 3 and 5 so it is not a prime number.

Hope this helps.
