Description

A prime number is a positive integer which is divisible only by 1 and itself. For example: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13

Since every number is divisible by One so, Two is the only even and the smallest prime number.

Requirements

Create a file called Prime Number using the naming convention appropriate for your language of choice.

Write a sample program which accepts an integer on the command line and outputs if the integer is a Prime number or not.
