How can you prove the statement: ‘the difference between two prime numbers is always even’, with a counter example?

Author: Alana Ray



Answer:

If the question asked: prove the statement is wrong: ‘the difference between two prime numbers is always even’, a counter example that could be used is the difference between 2 and 5 is 3, an odd number, so the difference between two prime numbers is not always even.
