Prime Number Check

Is it prime? See the answer and the factorisation.

Only divisible by 1 and itself

A prime number has exactly two divisors — checking primality means testing whether any number up to its square root divides it evenly; if none do, it's prime.

Why primes matter

Prime numbers are the 'atoms' of arithmetic — every integer greater than 1 breaks down into a unique product of primes, a fact that underlies modern encryption used to secure online transactions.
