A number is prime if it has exactly two factors: 1 and itself. Returns boolean representing primality of given number (i.e., if the result is true, then the number is indeed prime else it is not). >>> is_prime(2) True >>> is_prime(3) True >>> is_prime(27) False >>> is_prime(2999) True >>> is_prime(0) False >>> is_prime(1) False .. py:function:: solution(n: int = 600851475143) -> int Returns the largest prime factor of a given number n. >>> solution(13195) 29 >>> solution(10) 5 >>> solution(17) 17 >>> solution(3.4) 3 >>> solution(0) Traceback (most recent call last): ...
