Example Question #4 : How To Find Out If A Number Is Prime
Which is the greater quantity?
(a) The number of primes between 20 and 50
(b) The number of primes between 10 and 40
It is impossible to tell from the information given.
(a) is greater.
(a) and (b) are equal.
(b) is greater.
(b) is greater.
The primes between 20 and 40 are included in both sets, so all we need to do is to compare the number of primes between 40 and 50 with the number of primes between 10 and 20.
(a) The primes between 40 and 50 are 41, 43, and 47 - three.
(b) The primes between 10 and 20 are 11, 13, 17, and 19 - four.
Since the number of primes between 10 and 20 outnumbers those between 40 and 50, the number of primes between 10 and 40 outnumber those between 20 and 50. Therefore, (b) is the greater.

(b) 3,000
(a) is greater
(b) is greater
It is impossible to tell from the information given
(a) and (b) are equal
(a) is greater
The two least primes greater than or equal to 50 are 53 and 59; their product is

(b) 400
It is impossible to tell from the information given
(a) and (b) are equal
(a) is greater
(b) is greater
(a) is greater
The five greatest primes less than or equal to 100 are
