To find prime no we have to divide the number with 2, 3 & 7.

Then only is it called as a prime number.

3 * 11 = 33,
3 * 3 * 9 = 81,
3 * 31 = 93,
But 97/3 = It's not whole number. So 97 is the correct answer.

33/3 = 11.
81/9 = 9.
93/3 = 31.

But 97/? not have perfect division number.

97/97 = 1.

6*6 > 33?

(I know 33 is not a prime but) the formla is not appicable at all the time. So is it a wrong formula?
