Ask the user for a number and output the smallest divisor, bigger than one, for the inputted number. Output "Prime" if the number is a prime number.

num = int(input("Enter a number: ")) if num < 0: print("The number can't be less than 0.") else: div = 1 found_divisor = False while div <= num and not found_divisor: div += 1 if num % div == 0: found_divisor = True if not found_divisor or div==num: print("The number is a PRIME number.") else: print(div)
