Syd chooses two different primes, and multiplies them. If both primes are greater than 10, and the resulting product is less than 400, then how many different products could Syd have ended up with?
I tries 210 but that was incorrect
Thanks for you help!
The prime numbers greater than 10 and less than 20 are 11, 13, 17, and 19. The product of any two of these primes is less than 400.
Let’s list the possible products:
11 * 13 = 143
11 * 17 = 187
11 * 19 = 209
13 * 17 = 221
13 * 19 = 247
17 * 19 = 323
So, there are 6 different products that Syd could have ended up with. Please note that 210 is not a product of two prime numbers greater than 10, which is why it was incorrect. I hope this helps! 😊
