If n is divisible by any number from 2 to sqrt(n), where n is the number inputted by the user and n != 2 (2 is prime). Then n is a prime.

Prime number, is number that could be divided only by 1 and by it self. So, i would use a for, and divide number by increasing I starting from 1, if I divides with out lefting(Eg 5%5=0) count it. And if count equal to 2, it is a prime number.
