A positive integer which is only divisible by 1 and itself is known as prime number. For example: 13 is a prime number because it is only divisible by 1 and 13 but, 15 is not prime number because it is divisible by 1, 3, 5 and 15.

/* C++ program to check whether a number is prime or not. */

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
  int n, i, flag=0;
  cout << "Enter a positive integer: ";
  cin >> n;
  for(i=2;i<=n/2;++i)
  {
      if(n%i==0)
      {
          flag=1;
          break;
      }
  }
  if (flag==0)
      cout << "This is a prime number";
  else
      cout << "This is not a prime number";
  return 0;
}

The Output

Enter a positive integer: 29
This is a prime number.

Enter a positive integer: 12
This is not a prime number.
