What is the smallest 3 digit prime number?


Options:
A .  107
B .  100
C .  102
D .  101
Answer: Option D

102 is divisible by 2 => 102 is not a prime number
100 is divisible by 2 => 100 is not a prime number


101
<
11

101 is not divisible by the prime numbers 2, 3, 5, 7.


Hence 101 is a prime number
Since 100 is not a prime number, 101 is the smallest 3 digit prime number
 107

11


107 is also not divisible by the prime numbers 2, 3, 5, 7.
Hence 107 is also a prime number.
But the smallest 3 digit prime number is 101
