Fan and medal!!!!!! What is the sum of the first five prime numbers? A. 18 B. 26 C. 28 D. 39

OpenStudy (marihelenh):

Do you know what the first 5 are?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no, this is why im asking the question

OpenStudy (marihelenh):

A prime number is a number that only divided by itself and one. 2 is a prime number, because it is divisible by 1 and 2. 3 is prime because it can be divided by 1 and 3. 4 isn't prime because it can be divided by 1, 2, and 4.

OpenStudy (marihelenh):

Can you get what the next prime number is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (marihelenh):
