e -53
you can ignore 49 and 50 because neither are larger than 50 (also not prime numbers 7*7 = 49 and 2 *25 = 50)
you know an even number (other than 2) is not a prime number, so 52 is not a prime number
you're left with 51 and 53, well, there is a neat trick to determine if 3 is a factor of a number, add the digits together, and if they are a multiple of three than 3 is a factor of the number
so for 51 5+1 = 6, 6 is a multiple of 3 (3*2 = 6) so 51 is not a prime,
so the prime number must be 53

That's 53.
Let's rule out the others:
50 and 52 are even, so divisible by 2.
49 = 7*7 and it's not greater than 50.
51 = 3*17
Answer: 53.

its 53. 7 goes into 49, 5 goes into 50, 17 goes into 51, and 13 goes into 52.
