#include <math> bool isPrime(unsigned int n) { int i; if (n < 2) { return false; } for (i = 2; i <= sqrt(n); i++) { if (n % i == 0) { return false; } } return true; }

#include <iostream> using namespace std; int main() { int i,n,prm=0; cin >>n; for(i=2;i<n/2;i++){ if (n%i==0) prm=1; break; } if (prm==1) { cout <<n<<"\t is a composite number"<<endl; } else { cout <<n<<"\t is a prime number"<<endl; } return 0; }

use numbers from 2 to sprt n or just use primes that you record which are less than sqrt n to get fast speed

basically the logic behind knowing if a number is prime or not we need atleast 2 remainders of it that it one by itself and the other.
