This is an algorithmic question, not a python question, so the answer is 
to write out the steps you would follow to determine that a number is 
prime, and then write that code.

Note also that when searching for factors of a number n, and starting at 
2, you can generally stop at somewhere around n/3, as the only possible 
factor of n greater than n/2 is n, and 2 is probably the first value you 
tested. This can speed things up.
