Prime numbers are numbers greater than 1 that cannot be formed by multiplying two smaller natural numbers. They have exactly two distinct positive divisors: 1 and themselves.
Let’s identify the prime numbers between 12 and 15:
- 12: Not a prime number (divisors: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12)
- 13: Prime number (divisors: 1, 13)
- 14: Not a prime number (divisors: 1, 2, 7, 14)
- 15: Not a prime number (divisors: 1, 3, 5, 15)
From the numbers 12 to 15, the only prime number is 13.
Now, let’s express the prime number (13) as a fraction:
- As a simple fraction: 13/1 (since any whole number can be expressed as a fraction by placing it over 1)
- Another way to express it could be 26/2 (which simplifies back to 13)
In summary, the prime number from 12 to 15 is 13, and it can be represented in fraction form as 13/1 or any equivalent fractions such as 26/2.
