Since the roots are both positive integers, we can say that 
since 
only has 
divisors. Thus, the roots are 
and and 
. The only two primes which differ by are 
so 
and 
.
is true because 
.
is true because one of the roots is which is prime.
is true because 
is prime.
is true because 
is prime.
Thus, the answer is 
.
