It's 41. 38 is divisible by 2 and 39 by 3.

You need to bone up on your prime number rules.
2 is the ONLY even prime number. That eliminates 38.
39 is divisible by 3. 3 x 13 = 39. This eliminates 39.
41 is a prime number.
47 is also prime.

It's not 38, because it's divisible by 2.
It's not 39, because it's divisible by 3.
It's not 41, because it's divisible by 17.
It's 47.
