p + q + r + s + t + u p + q + r + s + t + u ( m o d 2 ) If all of p,q,r,s,t,u were odd, then p + q + r + s + t + u ( m o d 2 ) ⟹ 1,3, or 5 among p,q,r,s,t,u are Since p,q,r,s,t,u are primes and 2 is the Since p<q<r<s<t<u and since 2 is the ⟹ p p p = 2 5 3 1 7 3 ( G i v e n ) ≡ 1 ( m o d 2 ) ≡ 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 ( m o d 2 ) ≡ 0 ( m o d 2 ) even only even prime,exactly one of them is equal to 2 . smallest prime, = 2 = 2 2 = 4
