Write the following in C: 2. An integer is said to be prime if it is divisible by only 1 and itself. Write a function called prime() that takes in one integer number, and returns 1 (true) if the number is prime and 0 (false) otherwise. Write a program to generate six random numbers between 1 to 100 and calls function prime() on each one to determine if it is prime or not.
