Write a function in the program to return 1 if number is prime otherwise return 0

A prime number is natural number greater than 1 that has no positive divisors other than 1 and itself. The first few prime number are {1,3,5,7,......}

This program is not iterate through all the number starting from 2 to sqrt(N) using a for loop and for every number check if it divides N. If we find any number between 2 and sqrt(N) which divides, we return false. If we did not find not find any number between 2 and sqrt(N) which divides N then it means that N is prime and we will return true.

Why did we choose sqrt(N)?
The reason is that the smallest and greater than one factor of a number cannot be more than the sqrt of N. And we stop as soon as we find a factor. for example, if N is 49, the smallest factor is 7. For 15, smallest factor is 3.

C Program to check whether a number is prime or not

  • Program:

#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
   int i,num,p=0;
   printf("Please enter a number: \n");
   scanf("%d", &num);
   for(i=1i<=numi++)
   {
      if(num % i == 0)
      {
         p++;
      }
   }
   if(p==2)
   {
      printf("Entered number is %d\n"
      "and it is a prime number."num);
   }
   else
   {
      printf("Entered number is %d\n"
      "and it is not a prime number.",num);
   }
}

  •  Output:

Please enter a number: 5 Entered number is 5 and it is a prime number.

Or.

Please enter a number: 14 Entered number is 14 and it is not a prime number.
