    I'll consider just 3

    Step-by-step explanation:

    To check if a number is a prime number it has to undergo series of division.

    Let's not forget that a prime number is a number divisible by only itself and one

    So for my argument.

    2 cannot the number

    3 cannot also divide the number

    5 and 7 too cannot Divide the number.

    I'll consider just 3 as the highest prime number to divide it
