A Prime Number Checker Tool is a program or utility that allows users to determine whether a given number is a prime number or not. A prime number is a natural number greater than 1 that is not a product of two smaller natural numbers other than 1 and itself. In other words, a prime number has only two distinct positive divisors: 1 and the number itself.
Here are the basic features and functionality of a Prime Number Checker Tool:
User Input:
Users input a number into the tool to check whether it is prime or not.
Validation:
The tool typically validates the user input to ensure it is a positive integer greater than 1 since 1 is not considered a prime number.
Calculation:
The tool then performs calculations to determine if the input number is divisible by any integer other than 1 and itself.
Result Display:
The tool displays the result, indicating whether the input number is a prime number or not.
Optional Features:
Some Prime Number Checker Tools may include additional features such as finding the next prime number, listing prime numbers within a range, or providing additional information about prime numbers.
