  2. Formula for primes - Wikipedia

    However, it does not contain all the prime numbers, since the terms gcd(n + 1, a n) are always odd and so never equal to 2. 587 is the smallest prime (other than 2) not appearing in the first 10,000 outcomes that are different from 1. Nevertheless, in the same paper it was conjectured to contain all odd primes, even though it is rather inefficient.

  3. Table of prime factors - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_of_prime_factors

    The multiplicity of a prime which does not divide n may be called 0 or may be considered undefined. Ω(n), the prime omega function, is the number of prime factors of n counted with multiplicity (so it is the sum of all prime factor multiplicities). A prime number has Ω(n) = 1.

  4. Generation of primes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generation_of_primes

    A prime sieve or prime number sieve is a fast type of algorithm for finding primes. There are many prime sieves. The simple sieve of Eratosthenes (250s BCE), the sieve of Sundaram (1934), the still faster but more complicated sieve of Atkin [1] (2003), sieve of Pritchard (1979), and various wheel sieves [2] are most common.

  5. Table of Gaussian integer factorizations - Wikipedia

    A Gaussian integer is either the zero, one of the four units (±1, ±i), a Gaussian prime or composite.The article is a table of Gaussian Integers x + iy followed either by an explicit factorization or followed by the label (p) if the integer is a Gaussian prime.

  6. Integer factorization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integer_factorization

    Continuing this process until every factor is prime is called prime factorization; the result is always unique up to the order of the factors by the prime factorization theorem. To factorize a small integer n using mental or pen-and-paper arithmetic, the simplest method is trial division : checking if the number is divisible by prime numbers 2 ...

  7. Fundamental theorem of arithmetic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundamental_theorem_of...

    The requirement that the factors be prime is necessary: factorizations containing composite numbers may not be unique (for example, = =). This theorem is one of the main reasons why 1 is not considered a prime number : if 1 were prime, then factorization into primes would not be unique; for example, 2 = 2 ⋅ 1 = 2 ⋅ 1 ⋅ 1 ...

  8. Prime number theorem - Wikipedia

    For example, among the positive integers of at most 1000 digits, about one in 2300 is prime (log(10 1000) ≈ 2302.6), whereas among positive integers of at most 2000 digits, about one in 4600 is prime (log(10 2000) ≈ 4605.2). In other words, the average gap between consecutive prime numbers among the first N integers is roughly log(N). [3]
