This code I take from this book: "Introducción a la programación con python", Chapter 5, 2.6, if you know spanish, I recommend, I'm studying from this book, I'm newbie, XD, This code is to check if number is prime or not with "for-in" bucle, enjoy it XD num = int(input("Enter number: ")) i_think_is_prime = True for divider in range(2, num): if num % divider == 0: i_think_is_prime = False break if i_think_is_prime: print("The number", num, "is prime") else: print("The number", num, "is not prime")

Use modulus operator to check divisibility. Use for loop to loop over the numbers smaller than the number being checked.
