F Exercise 1.5
1 23 and 29
2 There are two: 31 and 37.
3 one (97)
4 a 2, 5 b 3, 5 c 5 d 2, 7 e 3, 5 f 2, 5, 7
5 a 24, 25, 26, 27, 28 is the first possible sequence. b 90 to 96 is the first possible sequence.
6 a i in columns 3 and 6 ii in column 6
b column 5 c No. 35 is not prime.
7 226 = 2 × 113; 321 = 3 × 107; 305 = 5 × 61; 133 = 7 × 19
8 No. It goes wrong when 121 appears. This is not prime because it is 11 × 11.
9 a i 5 and 13, or 7 and 11 ii  3 and 23, or 7 and 19
iii 7 and 23, or 11 and 19, or 13 and 17

4 a 5 b 10 c 13 d 17
5 122 and 162
6 a 5, 3, 9, 3, 5, 9
b True. Factors come in pairs that multiply to make the number. This will make the total even, unless one factor
multiplies by itself to give the number. This only happens with square numbers.
