what are the next three prime numbers after 29

Determine the next three prime numbers after 29.

Prime numbers are considered to be numbers that only have two factors. These two factors are 1 and the number itself. 

In order to determine the next three prime numbers after 29, we must simply check each number after 29 to see if they are a prime number. After 29 we have 30 which has more than 2 factors therefore it is considered to be composite. After 30, we have 31 which only have two factors, 31 and 1, therefore we can conclude that 31 is prime. Now after 31, starting from 32 to 36, the given numbers have more than 2 factors, whereas for 37 it is considered prime since it only has 2 factors. For numbers 38 to 40, they are composite since they have more than 2 factors, while 41 is a prime since it only has 1 factor.

= 31, 37, 41

Final answer:

The next three prime numbers after 29 are 31, 37 and 41
