Nope, the original problem statement didn't say what should should
happen if n does have such factors.  Clearly, it's only describing a
program fragment.

"""1.Given a positive integer  n , assign True to  is_prime if  n has no factors other than  1 and itself. (Remember,  m is a factor of  n if  m divides  n evenly.)
