3, 13 and 23 are all prime numbers so
all numbers that end in 3 must be prime.

Answer:

Explanation:

We only need to find one exception to prove that she is wrong.

One such number is 33, which = 3 * 11 ( noit prime).

Wrong because there will be sometimes a number that will be dividend by three completely.

See :-

  • 93

93/3 = 31

  • 63

63/3 = 21

  • 33

33/3 = 11
