You could figure out a Prime number by the help of its factors. If it has only 2 factors which are 1 and number itself, then it is prime.

You can figure out the number is prime by dividing it by all numbers between that and 1. If it gets divided then it is not prime.

With difficulty.

You would need to check for divisibility by all integers up to (and including) the square root of the number.
