Answers

1. Answer :

2. Answer :

Look at the grid in 1. Answer above.

From the Sieve of Eratosthenes, we observe that, the crossed-out numbers are composite and the colored numbers (encircled) are primes.

3. Answer :

The total number of prime numbers from 1 to 100 is 25.

4. Answer :

There is only one prime number that ends with 5 is 5.

5. Answer :

There is only one prime number which is even, that is 2.

6. Answer :

From the grid in 1. Answer,

the smallest two-digit prime number = 11

the largest two-digit prime number = 97

Sum of the smallest and largest two-digit prime numbers :

= 11 + 97

= 108

7. Answer :

From the grid in 1. Answer,

the smallest two-digit prime number = 11

the smallest one-digit prime number = 2

Difference between the smallest two-digit prime number and the smallest one-digit prime number :

= 11 - 2

= 9
