Which is the smallest odd prime number? $1or3$

Determine the smallest odd prime number.

$1or3$

$3$ is the smallest odd prime number. Every number may be represented as a distinct product of prime numbers with integer powers.
A number is considered to be prime if it contains just 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.

Hence, the smallest odd prime number is $“3”$.
