I suppose the calculator has no Prime number-related function

Suppose you want to know if x is a prime

If x is not a prime then the greatest factor that can be in x is sqrt(x)

So you can try to divide x by all prime numbers between 2 and sqrt(x), if none of this calculation returns an integer then x is prime.
