Re: 10 second questions
#3350. Which is the prime number divisible by
?
I have been reading posts back and forth about this. This sum,
which is even, does not divide any prime number.
The question could have been "Which prime number divides this sum?"
2 would be an answer.
But, if the question meant was to determine the largest prime
number that divides (into) this sum, then the question stated
should be along the lines of:
"What is the largest prime that divides
Signature line:
I wish a had a more interesting signature line.
