For this problem u will get lots of solutions on the net.

Hello, 
 
I have to make a programm which can test if a number is a prime.
I know a prime is a number which can only be diveded by 1 and itself.
 
One way is was thinking about is to make a loop which try if % has output 0.
But that don't work.
 
Can someone give me a hint what's the best approach is.
