In mathematics, a prime number is a natural number greater than 1 that is not a product of two smaller natural numbers, i.e. is it has only two factors 1 and itself. A natural number greater than 1 that is not prime is called a composite number. For example, 5 is prime because the only ways of writing it as a product, 1 × 5 or 5 × 1, involve 5 itself. Note that the prime number series is: 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47, 53, … a. Write a Java method named isPrime that takes a natural number as a parameter and returns the if the given number is prime or not using the following header: Public static boolean isPrime(int num) b. Write a Java class called PrimeNumbers that: o Reads from the user a natural value n (should be less than or equal 200). o Prints a list of the prime numbers from 2 to n and their number and values. o The program has to work EXACTLY as given in the following sample run. Hints: • You should create a single dimension array to store the prime numbers less than or equal n. • You have to check all the natural numbers less than or equal n starting from 1. • 1 is not a prime number while 2 is. =========================== Sample Run: Enter a natural number (should be less than or equal 100): 120 Enter a natural number (should be less than or equal 200): 99 There are 26 prime number less than or equal 99 and they are: 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47, 53, 59, 61, 67, 71, 73, 79, 83, 89 and 97.
