What is the difference between the largest prime number less than 50 and the smallest composite number greater than 10? 35 36 37 38

35.

Step-by-step explanation:

The composite numbers are the opposite of prime numbers, therefore, the composite numbers can be divided by themselves, 1 and other numbers.

After 10, we have 11, but this is a prime number.

Then, we have 12, which is a composite number, divided by 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12.

Then, the smallest composite number greater than 10 is 12.

Now, we're going to find the largest prime number less than 50:

49 is 7 x 7, therefore is a composite number.

48 is even, therefore it has 2 as a factor and it's a composite number. (48 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3)

47 is prime. Therefore, 47 is the largest prime number less than 50.

The difference between 12 and 47 is:

47 - 12 = 35.
