Are all Prime Numbers Odd?

Answer: All prime numbers are odd except 2 which is the only even prime number.

No, not all prime numbers are odd. Only 2 is an exception – it’s the only prime number that’s even. All other prime numbers bigger than 2 are odd.

What are Odd Primes?

• Prime numbers are numbers greater than 1 that can only be divided by 1 and themselves, without leaving a remainder.
• Most prime numbers, such as 3, 5, 7, 11, and so on are odd.

Since 2 can only be divided by 1 and 2, it’s prime despite being even.
