    Alexis is incorrect.

    Just because a number is odd does not mean that it is prime.

    For example, one of these lowest odd numbers that isn't prime is 9.

    You can get 9 by multiplying 3 by 3.

    3 * 3 = 9

    Another example is 15.

    5 * 3 = 15

    Even the number 1 isn't prime.

    1 * 1 = 1
