Question

What percent?

What percent of the first 20 natural numbers are prime numbers?

Answer 1

Let's find all the prime numbers.

1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15,17,19

They are not divisible by 2.

Put that into a fraction, where the amount of numbers is the numerator and the total amount of numbers is the denominator.

10/20

That is half of 20.

So, 50% of the 20 first natural numbers are prime.

I hope this helps!
