System.out.println("3");
That should answer your question because any other number divisible by 3 cannot be prime because it is divisible by 3.

hi how do you divide in java? the denominator must be divisible by the numerator. what i meant is like this 24/4. in java how do i do that. how do i do it by using the modulus.

If using 'int' type values, anything from 24 through 27 divided by 4 will result in a returned value of 6. The modulus operator, '%' will return the remainder of the operation; so, 24%4= 0, 25%4=1, 26%4=2 and 27%4=3.

okay now, how do you do it without using the modulus

I guess you would have to do it the long way: 
int numA = 27;
int numB = 4;

int mod = numA;
while (numA >= numB) mod -= numB;

System.out.println("The remainder after dividing "+numA+" by "+numB+" is "+mod);
I did not put any checks to ensure that both values were positive.

Where did you try it? Show the code you used (method and all).
