An easy way to find a number is prime or not.
Divide the number by 6 and check whether the reminder is +1 or -1. Then the number is a prime number.
formula : 6(x)(+-)plus or minus 1 .
Example:
97 is prime or not.
97/6=6(16)+1=>96+1=97 it is prime number. //ends with +1 or -1
41 is prime or not.
41/6=6(8)-1=> 42-1=41 it is prime number //ends with +1 or -1

Yes, 97 is a prime number.
Because as per prime num definition i.e prime number is a number that is divisible by 1 and itself. 33 is not a prime num because it is divisible by 3, 81 is also not a prime num because it is divisible by 9, 93 is also not a prime num because it is divisible by 3 but whereas 97 is not divisible by any other num expect 1 and itself so, 97 is a prime number.
