# Sum of Prime Numbers Between 10 and 25

To find the sum of prime numbers, we must first identify all prime numbers in the given range, then add them together.

Step 1: Identify All Prime Numbers Between 10 and 25

A prime number is a natural number greater than 1 that has no positive divisors other than 1 and itself. We check each number in the range for primality.

\[\text{Prime numbers between 10 and 25: } 11, 13, 17, 19, 23\]

(Note: 12, 14, 15, 16, 18, 20, 21, 22, 24 are composite; 10 and 25 are composite)

Step 2: Calculate the Sum

Adding all identified prime numbers together:

\[11 + 13 + 17 + 19 + 23 = 83\]

The sum of all prime numbers between 10 and 25 is 83.

Answer: (C) 83
