Some numbers are prime numbers - some numbers have other properties.As you continue through school and math lessons, you'll learn a lot more about numbers, and if you choose to go further with math when you leave school, no doubt you will come across some strange terms for numbers. Most likely, you've heard of infinity ~ this means without end ~ and numbers go on forever. Saying this, you will learn about Graham's number, TREE(3) and a googolplex!

For now, we are dealing with the easy stuff, so get 10 out of 10 in this quiz!

Math: Elementary School: Grades 3, 4 and 5 Quiz - Properties of Numbers 2 (Answers)

What is the smallest prime number?

[x]	2
[ ]	1
[ ]	0
[ ]	-1

A prime number is a positive whole number that is only divisible by 1 and itself but does not include the number 1, e.g. 2, 3, 17, 41

Which of the following statements is wrong?

[ ]	Two is an even number and a prime number
[ ]	Other than the number 2, there are no even prime numbers
[x]	If you add two odd numbers, you get another odd number
[ ]	If you add two even numbers, you get another even number

7 + 5 = 12 which is not odd. If you want to show that a statement is not always true, find one example that shows it is wrong - like we did here

Which number is the odd man out: 49, 15, 41, 9?

[ ]	9
[ ]	15
[ ]	49
[x]	41

They are all odd, but 41 is also a prime number: a prime number is a positive whole number that is only divisible by 1 and itself but does not include the number 1

Which number is the odd man out: 64, 32, 144, 100?

[ ]	144

[ ]	100
[x]	32

They are all even numbers, but 32 is not a square number. A square number (perfect square) is a number formed by the multiplication of another number with itself, e.g. 144 = 12 × 12; 64 = 8 × 8; 100 = 10 × 10. Note: 1 × 1 = 1

Which number is the odd man out: 71, 17, 11, 39?

[ ]	11
[ ]	17
[x]	39
[ ]	71

They are all odd numbers, but only 39 is a non prime number: a prime number is a positive whole number that is only divisible by 1 and itself but does not include the number 1

Which two prime numbers have to be added together to give 38?

[ ]	11 + 27
[x]	19 + 19
[ ]	23 + 15

This is the only choice that has two prime numbers

Which of the following statements is wrong?

[ ]	If a number is divisible by 9, then it is divisible by 3
[x]	If you add two prime numbers together, you get another prime number
[ ]	If you subtract 1 from an even number, you get an odd number
[ ]	There are four prime numbers between 1 and 10

11 + 7 = 18 which is not a prime number. If you want to show that a statement is not always true, find one example that shows it is wrong - like we did here

How many prime numbers are there between 1 and 30?

[x]	10
[ ]	12

Here they are: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29

Which of the following statements is wrong?

[ ]	13 is an odd number
[x]	13 × 13 = 159
[ ]	13 is a prime number
[ ]	13 is the sixth smallest prime number

13 × 13 = 169! D'oh! By the way, just because 13 is odd, this doesn't prevent it from being a prime number too
