#TO CHECK WHETHER A NUMBER IS PRIME OR NOT
def isPrime(N):
if N<=1:
return False
for i in range(2, int(N**0.5) + 1):
if N%i==0:
return False
return True
# TIME COMPLEXITY - O(sqrt(N))
# EXAMPLES
# print(isPrime(3)) -> True
# print(isPrime(15)) -> False
# We are just checking till sqrt(N) as if their is any factor of a number
# greater than sqrt(N) then it's partner will be less than sqrt(N) as if a*b>N
# and a>=sqrt(N) then b<=sqrt(N) as if b>sqrt(N) then a*b>N.
