There is no easy test. You need to divide the number by all the primes up to the square root of the number, so if you want to know if 56789 is prime, you need to divide by all the prime numbers up to 239. If you go through all the primes up to the square root and don't get an even number as the result of the division then the number is prime. (Incidentally, the factors of 56789 are 109 and 521.)

Is the number 999997 a prime number?
Easiest way to answer this question yourself is can this number be divided by 2 or 3 and not have a decimal or any "leftover" numbers? 999997 / 2 = 499998.5 = Nope 999997 / 3 = 333332.33 = Nope Answer: Yes, 999997 is a prime number. No, the above is not a legitimate prime test. 999997 is actually 757 * 1321 and is not prime. There is no easy prime test you can do in your head that I know of.
