Check the output of top, which should have a cpu column listed there. ps will also tell you this.

Most of the time processes don't belong to any particular processor(s).
And why would you care ???.

The processes get shuffled between cpus by the OS. IOW, they are not permanently assigned to one cpu (or core).

Thanks all of you a lot.

So, do you mean that , sometimes , the process would be loaded to one CPU , sometimes , it would be loaded to other one ? According to the payload of CPUs.
