Prime numbers are numbers that can only be cleanly divided by itself and 1.

You need to write a function that checks whether if the number passed into it is a prime number or not.
e.g. 2 is a prime number because it's only divisible by 1 and 2.
But 4 is not a prime number because you can divide it by 1, 2 or 4.
Here are the numbers up to 100, prime numbers are highlighted in yellow:
73
It's a prime number.
75
It's not a prime number.

Make sure you name your function/parameters the same as when it's called on the last line of code.
-
Use the same wording as the Example Outputs to make sure the tests pass.
