Hi,
11>square root of(91).
(11*11=121 =>11^2 > square root of (91)).
Then prime numbers below 11 are 2, 3, 5, 7
So 91 is divisible by 7.
Hence 91 is not a prime number.

Number is 91.
Take out last 1 and multiply by 2.
9 - (1*2) = 9 - 2 = 7.
So it is divisible by 7.
If we have more digits repeat the process.
It is easy.

I want to know why 1 is not prime no?

Basically a number is prime no. If it has exactly 2 distinct factors. For e.g for 13 factors are 13 and 1. So it is a prime number. But for 1 factors are 1 only. So it is not a prime number.
