<br /="/"/><div>Any prime>3 can be written as 2n-1 or 2n+1 where n is an integer.  Can it also written as mn-1 or mn+1, where m=3,4,5,6?  (prove is needed for each m).  If the answer is true, what is the smallest even m such that the question is not true and what is the smallest odd m such that the question is not true?  Thanks.</div><span style="display:none;">www.ddhw.com</span><br /="/"/><br /="/"/> <div style="MARGIN-TOP:20px;MARGIN-LEFT:0;MARGIN-BOTTOM:0;float:left"></div>

Thanks. You are right.
