#make the function #to do this all hte vairibles go in side the function def CheckIfPrime (): a1 = input("which number do you want to check") a = int(a1)#you need the checking number as an int not an str b = 2 #the number to check againts c = ("yes") while b < a:#run the loop if a%b == 0:#check if the division has a remainder c = ("no")#set the answer b = b+1 print(c)#print the output CheckIfPrime ()#call the function
