Prime Checker

    Can you explain me why you check all odd numbers until square root of n? I don't understand why square root and not n/2..

    Anyway this is my working solution:

        private boolean isPrime(int n) {
        if (n < 2) {
            return false;
        }

        for (int i = 2; i <= n / 2; i++) {
            if (n % i == 0) {
                return false;
            }
        }

        return true;
    }
