Changing prime numbers in a matrix

I printed a 100x100 random matrix of integers from 1 to 50. However, I want to replace the prime numbers in this matrix with the number 1415. How can I replace the prime numbers in that matrix with a specific number (1415)? Thank you.

M = randi([1 50],100);
M(isprime(M)) = 1415;

Thank you but i am getting error 😥
Could I be getting an error because I want to both find the prime numbers in my matrix and replace those numbers with 1415? Can you help me?
Ok, sure. This modification stores the locations of the prime numbers in a logical variable, outputs the prime numbers, then replaces the prime numbers in M with 1415.
M = randi([1 50],100);
% find locations in M containing prime number
primeLogical = isprime(M);
% output prime numbers in M
M(primeLogical)
% change prime numbers in M to 1415
M(primeLogical) = 1415;
