Koora, you should review the definition of prime numbers. In this problem, you are looking for a number that is only divisible by itself and 1, which is greater than 48. 49 is divisible by 7. 50 is divisible by 5 and 10. 51 is divisible by 3 and 17. 52 is divisible by 2 and 26. So E, 53 is the answer.
