Use Prime Factorization Method

OpenStudy (dan815):

no number under 20 divides it so

OpenStudy (dan815):

other than 1

OpenStudy (rational):

so the proof contains 19 divisibility tests ?

OpenStudy (dan815):

primes under 20 are 2,3,5,7,11,13,17

OpenStudy (dan815):

19*

OpenStudy (rational):

thats better, 8 divisibility tests since there are only 8 primes under 20 any other method
