The type of isPrime1 function you have defined is inferred to be

isPrime1 :: (Integral a, RealFrac a, Floating a) => a -> IO ()

You can check this quickly using :t isPrime1 in GHCI.

When you try to run isPrime1 in GHCI you get a compile error
since the argument isPrime1 is an integer which does not
satisfy the three constraints (Integral, RealFrac and Floating).

You probably wanted to define isPrime1 to have the type
(Integer a) => a -> IO ()

Cheers,
Rahul
