6. Start with the largest numbers and check for prime factors.
129 is divisible by 3, so is not prime.
128 is divisible by 2, so is not prime.
127 is not divisible by 2, 3, 5, 7, or 11, so is a prime number. We can stop checking at 11 because
it is the largest prime that is less than the square root of 127.
