of prime number:
A
natural number greater than one has not any other divisors except 1 and itself.
In other word we can say which has only two divisors 1 and number itself.
Their
divisors are 1 and 5.
Note: 2
is only even prime number.
Logic for
prime number in c
We will
take a loop and divide number from 2 to number/2. If the number is not divisible
by any of the numbers then we will print it as prime number.
Example of prime numbers : 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31,
37, 41, 43, 47, 53, 59, 61, 67, 71, 73, 79, 83, 89, 97, 101, 103, 107, 109,
113, 127, 131, 137, 139, 149, 151, 157, 163, 167, 173, 179, 181, 191, 193, 197,
199 etc.
#include<stdio.h>
int main(){
int num,i,count=0;
printf("Enter a number: ");
scanf("%d",&num);
for(i=2;i<=num/2;i++){
if(num%i==0){
count++;
break;
}
}
if(count==0 && num!= 1)
printf("%d is a prime
number",num);
else
printf("%d is not a prime
number",num);
return 0;
}
Sample output:
Enter a number: 5
5 is a prime number
