Math Problem Statement
1,2,3,24,25 find the even prime number
Solution
The only even prime number is 2.
This is because a prime number is defined as a number greater than 1 that has no positive divisors other than 1 and itself. All even numbers greater than 2 are divisible by 2, meaning they are not prime. Therefore, 2 is the only even number that fits the definition of a prime number.
