A prime number is a number that can only be divided by 1 or itself.
for example: 1,3,5,11,13,17
/* Example: check if the number is prime or not in C language */ #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <time.h> #include <string.h> #include <stdbool.h> int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { int i, c = 0; int n = 11; for (i = 1; i <= n; i++) { if (n % i == 0) { c++; } } if (c == 2) { printf("%d is a Prime number",n); } else { printf("%d is not a Prime number",n); } return 0; }
