: Simple!

: 2 + 5 + 4 + 3 + 6 + 5 + 4 + 6 + 5 + 4 + 3 + 1 +
: 6 + 5 + 2 + 4 + 3 + 6 + 5 + 1 + 4 + 2 + 3 + 2 = 91

: 9 + 1 = 10.

: 1 + 0 = 1.

: 1 is not a multiple of three, so the whole number is not a multiple of
: three, so it must be prime!

Yeah, but what's an easy way to show 254365465431652436514232 is not a
binary number?
