  1. It cannot be. If 47 is the sum of two prime numbers, one must be
    an even number and one must be an odd number, because that is the
    only way to have a sum that is an odd number, such as 47. The only
    even prime number is 2. The number that with 2 will have a sum of
    47 is 45. However, 45 is not a prime number. Therefore, there are
    not two prime numbers that have a sum of 47.
