1 answer

A prime number is a natural number greater than 1 that has no positive divisors other than 1 and itself.

Let's check each of the numbers:

  • 39: Divisible by 1, 3, 13, and 39 (not prime).
  • 69: Divisible by 1, 3, 23, and 69 (not prime).
  • 49: Divisible by 1, 7, and 49 (not prime; \(7 \times 7 = 49\)).
  • 29: Divisible by 1 and 29 (prime).

So, the only prime number in the list is 29.
