thx for tat!

The best way of answering would have been is: when 2 & 3 are not factors of a Number, then that number is certainly a PRIME number..

Agreed??

let us try soem cases
n = 5

so n^2 -1= 24; which is divisible by 24 & remainder is 0

n =7
and again we have n^2 -1= 48 which is nicely divided by 24 & r= 0.

The answer posted by Ian is Logical.But lengthy.So i was looking for some classy answer based on prime numbers!!

But, yes Thx for ur answer Jo.
