The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of finding the number of prime numbers in the form of \(5a + 1\) where \(a\) is a natural number from 1 to 20, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Define the expression We need to evaluate the expression \(5a + 1\) for all natural numbers \(a\) from 1 to 20. ### Step 2: Calculate \(5a + 1\) for each \(a\) We will calculate \(5a + 1\) for each integer value of \(a\) from 1 to 20. - For \(a = 1\): \(5(1) + 1 = 6\) - For \(a = 2\): \(5(2) + 1 = 11\) - For \(a = 3\): \(5(3) + 1 = 16\) - For \(a = 4\): \(5(4) + 1 = 21\) - For \(a = 5\): \(5(5) + 1 = 26\) - For \(a = 6\): \(5(6) + 1 = 31\) - For \(a = 7\): \(5(7) + 1 = 36\) - For \(a = 8\): \(5(8) + 1 = 41\) - For \(a = 9\): \(5(9) + 1 = 46\) - For \(a = 10\): \(5(10) + 1 = 51\) - For \(a = 11\): \(5(11) + 1 = 56\) - For \(a = 12\): \(5(12) + 1 = 61\) - For \(a = 13\): \(5(13) + 1 = 66\) - For \(a = 14\): \(5(14) + 1 = 71\) - For \(a = 15\): \(5(15) + 1 = 76\) - For \(a = 16\): \(5(16) + 1 = 81\) - For \(a = 17\): \(5(17) + 1 = 86\) - For \(a = 18\): \(5(18) + 1 = 91\) - For \(a = 19\): \(5(19) + 1 = 96\) - For \(a = 20\): \(5(20) + 1 = 101\) ### Step 3: List the results The values of \(5a + 1\) for \(a = 1\) to \(20\) are: - \(6, 11, 16, 21, 26, 31, 36, 41, 46, 51, 56, 61, 66, 71, 76, 81, 86, 91, 96, 101\) ### Step 4: Identify the prime numbers Now, we need to determine which of these numbers are prime: - **6**: Not prime (divisible by 2 and 3) - **11**: Prime - **16**: Not prime (divisible by 2) - **21**: Not prime (divisible by 3 and 7) - **26**: Not prime (divisible by 2) - **31**: Prime - **36**: Not prime (divisible by 2) - **41**: Prime - **46**: Not prime (divisible by 2) - **51**: Not prime (divisible by 3 and 17) - **56**: Not prime (divisible by 2) - **61**: Prime - **66**: Not prime (divisible by 2) - **71**: Prime - **76**: Not prime (divisible by 2) - **81**: Not prime (divisible by 3) - **86**: Not prime (divisible by 2) - **91**: Not prime (divisible by 7) - **96**: Not prime (divisible by 2) - **101**: Prime ### Step 5: Count the prime numbers The prime numbers identified are: \(11, 31, 41, 61, 71, 101\). Thus, the total count of prime numbers in the form \(5a + 1\) is **6**. ### Final Answer The number of prime numbers in the form of \(5a + 1\) where \(1 \leq a \leq 20\) is **6**. ---
