Try dividing it by the smallest prime (2), then the next one (3) and continue until you have tried out the all the primes up to and including the square root of the number. In this case 3 will do the trick.

You do not need to find the quotient, you only need check for divisibility. So 5+1 = 6 and since 6 is divisible by 3, 51 is also divisible by 3.
