Find the smallest odd prime number.
1 or 3
The smallest odd prime number is three. Every number may be represented as a distinct product of prime numbers with integer powers.
A number is considered prime if it has only two factors: 1 the number itself. 1 is not a prime number. When we consider 1 being a prime number, we cannot have a unique representation for any number.
Thus, the smallest odd prime number is 3.
