Welcome folks today in this post we will be checking if a number is prime or not in python. All the source code of the application is given as below.

Get Started

In order to get started just make an app.py file and copy paste the following code

app.py

# Program to check if a number is prime or not

num = 407

# To take input from the user
#num = int(input("Enter a number: "))

# prime numbers are greater than 1
if num > 1:
   # check for factors
   for i in range(2,num):
       if (num % i) == 0:
           print(num,"is not a prime number")
           print(i,"times",num//i,"is",num)
           break
   else:
       print(num,"is a prime number")
       
# if input number is less than
# or equal to 1, it is not prime
else:
   print(num,"is not a prime number")

So now just run the below script to execute it

python app.py

As you can see 407 number is not prime as prime numbers are those numbers which are only divisible  by 1 or by itself.

You can also take the number as the input from the user as shown below in the script

app.py

# Program to check if a number is prime or not

# To take input from the user
num= int(input("Enter a number: "))

# prime numbers are greater than 1
if num > 1:
   # check for factors
   for i in range(2,num):
       if (num % i) == 0:
           print(num,"is not a prime number")
           print(i,"times",num//i,"is",num)
           break
   else:
       print(num,"is a prime number")
       
# if input number is less than
# or equal to 1, it is not prime
else:
   print(num,"is not a prime number")

This time we have taken the number from the user as command line input and you can see 23 is a prime number
