A prime number (or a prime) is a natural number greater than 1 that cannot be formed by multiplying two smaller natural numbers. A natural number greater than 1 that is not prime is called a composite number.
For example, 5 is prime because the only ways of writing it as a product, 1 × 5 or 5 × 1, involve 5 itself. However, 6 is composite because it is the product of two numbers (2 × 3) that are both smaller than 6. Primes are central in number theory because of the fundamental theorem of arithmetic: every natural number greater than 1 is either a prime itself or can be factorized as a product of primes that is unique up to their order.
using System; namespace Program { class Program { public static void Main() { int num; int k; k = 0; Console.Write("Enter a Number: "); num = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine()); for (int i = 1; i <= num; i++) { if (num % i == 0) { k++; } } if (k == 2) { Console.WriteLine("Entered Number is a Prime Number and the Largest Factor is {0}", num); } else { Console.WriteLine("Not Prime!"); } Console.ReadLine(); } } }
