+1

The smallest possible prime divisor a number can have is of course, 

 

If we check the multiplication, we can see that 3 odd numbers can't possibly mulitply to be an even. 

 

So, 519713331 is not divisble by 2. 

 

The next smallest is 3. 

 

The third term of the multiplication is 331

 

This means, no matter what, this number has to be divisible by 3. 

 

So 3 is our final answer. 

 

Thanks! :)
