Step-by-step solution

2 steps

Steps:

  1. Identify prime numbers between 70 and 80

    • A prime number is a natural number greater than 1 that has no positive divisors other than 1 and itself.
    • Numbers in the range: 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80.
    • Eliminate even numbers (except 2, which is not in this range) and multiples of 5: 70, 72, 74, 75, 76, 78, 80 are not prime.
    • Check remaining numbers:
      • 71: Not divisible by 2, 3, 5, 7. (√71 ≈ 8.4, so we only need to check primes up to 7). Thus, 71 is prime.
      • 73: Not divisible by 2, 3, 5, 7. (√73 ≈ 8.5). Thus, 73 is prime.
      • 77: Divisible by 7 (77 = 7 × 11). Not prime.
      • 79: Not divisible by 2, 3, 5, 7. (√79 ≈ 8.8). Thus, 79 is prime.
    • The prime numbers in this range are 71, 73, and 79.
  2. Calculate their sum

    • Sum = 71 + 73 + 79
    • Sum = 144 + 79
    • Sum = 223
