num = 123

Output:
123 is not a prime number

Python program to check prime number

# Python program to check prime number

# Function to check prime number 
def isPrime(n): 
    return all([(n % j) for j in range(2, int(n/2)+1)]) and n>1
  
# Main code
num = 59
if isPrime(num):
  print(num, "is a prime number")
else:
  print(num, "is not a prime number")  

num = 7
if isPrime(num):
  print(num, "is a prime number")
else:
  print(num, "is not a prime number")  

num = 123
if isPrime(num):
  print(num, "is a prime number")
else:
  print(num, "is not a prime number")
