Problem 58379. Determine whether a number is prome

Difficulty:Rate
In discussing the unique factorization of numbers in Elementary Number Theory, Underwood Dudley devised a new number system:
“Consider the integers 1, 5, 9, 13, 17,…; that is, all integers of the form 4n+1, n = 0, 1,... We will call an element of this set prome if it has no divisors other than 1 and itself in the set. For example, 21 is prome, whereas 25 = 5*5 is not."
Write a function to determine whether a number is prome. Take 1 to be not prome.
