Random number generators are important in many kinds of technical applications, including physics, engineering or mathematical computer studies (e.g., Monte Carlo simulations), cryptography and gambling (on game servers). This list includes many common types, regardless of quality or applicability to a given use case.
In the 1950s, a hardware random number generator named ERNIE was used to draw British premium bond numbers. The first "testing" of random numbers for statistical randomness was developed by M.G. Kendall and B. Babington Smith in the late 1930s, and was based upon looking for certain types of probabilistic expectations in a given sequence. The ...
The table is formatted as 400 pages, each containing 50 lines of 50 digits. Columns and lines are grouped in fives, and the lines are numbered 00000 through 19999. The standard normal deviates are another 200 pages (10 per line, lines 0000 through 9999), with each deviate given to three decimal places.

This is a list of articles about prime numbers. A prime number (or prime) is a natural number greater than 1 that has no positive divisors other than 1 and itself. By Euclid's theorem, there are an infinite number of prime numbers. Subsets of the prime numbers may be generated with various formulas for primes.
If addition or subtraction is used, the maximum period is (2 k − 1) × 2 M−1. If multiplication is used, the maximum period is (2 k − 1) × 2 M−3, or 1/4 of period of the additive case. If bitwise xor is used, the maximum period is 2 k − 1. For the generator to achieve this maximum period, the polynomial: y = x k + x j + 1
