Which of the following is a prime number?

This question was previously asked in
SSC Selection Post 2022 Matriculation Level Question Paper (02-Aug-2022) (Shift-4)
The correct answer is 373

The correct answer is 373.

Therefore, if we check for divisors up to $\sqrt{N}$ and find none (other than 1), we can be sure that the number N is prime. For example, when checking 373, we calculated $\sqrt{373} \approx 19.3$. We only needed to check for prime divisors up to 19 (i.e., 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19). Since none of these divided 373 evenly, 373 is prime.
