There is an easier way to find prime numbers. First find the square root of nearest and lowest perfect square. If none of the prime numbers till that square root divides the given number, then it is a prime number.

Nearest root of 117 is 10. 117 is divisible by 3. Not a prime no.
Nearest root of 133 is 11. 133 is divisible by 7. Not a prime no.
Nearest root of 189 is 13. 189 is divisible by 3. Not a prime no.
Nearest root of 209 is 14. 209 is divisible by 11. Not a prime no.
Nearest root 223 is 14. No prime lower than and equal to 14 divides 223.
Therefore 223 is a prime number.(E)
