91 prime or not.
Which square number is exceeds 91?
10 ^2 right. So let's take a prime number which is less than 10.
2, 3, 5, 7.
Check the given number is divisible by 2, 3, 5, 7.
If it is divisible then it is not a prime number.
If not that would be a prime number.

The Question is "which is not a prime number".
In a very simple way how do we check whether a number is prime or not, .
The number should be divisible by one & the number it self right!.
Now see their options, that are, .
31. - is a prime number which can only be divided 1 & the number itself.
61. - same here.
71. - here too.
91. - is divisible by 1, 7, 91.
So, among other options, 91 is not a prime number.

When we apply the condition.
n*n >=p for 91! How does that work?
(10*10>=91. Factors of 10 -2, 5, 10. So how is this condition satisfiying for the above question).?
