1 of 2

If the prime numbers are between 1000 and 1500, then we can take the square roots of these numbers to estimate the interval on which we find the prime numbers:

100031.6\sqrt{1000}\approx 31.6

150038.7\sqrt{1500}\approx 38.7

So, the numbers are between 32 and 38. The two prime numbers between 32 and 38 are 31 and 37 so the pin number is:

31×37=114731\times 37=\color{#c34632}1147
