  2. Primality test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primality_test

    The first deterministic primality test significantly faster than the naive methods was the cyclotomy test; its runtime can be proven to be O((log n) c log log log n), where n is the number to test for primality and c is a constant independent of n. Many further improvements were made, but none could be proven to have polynomial running time.

  3. Schwartz–Zippel lemma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schwartz–Zippel_lemma

    Prime numbers are used in a number of applications such as hash table sizing, pseudorandom number generators and in key generation for cryptography. Therefore, finding very large prime numbers (on the order of (at least) 10 350 ≈ 2 1024 {\displaystyle 10^{350}\approx 2^{1024}} ) becomes very important and efficient primality testing ...

  4. Lucas primality test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucas_primality_test

    In computational number theory, the Lucas test is a primality test for a natural number n; it requires that the prime factors of n − 1 be already known. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] It is the basis of the Pratt certificate that gives a concise verification that n is prime.

  5. AKS primality test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AKS_primality_test

    The AKS primality test (also known as Agrawal–Kayal–Saxena primality test and cyclotomic AKS test) is a deterministic primality-proving algorithm created and published by Manindra Agrawal, Neeraj Kayal, and Nitin Saxena, computer scientists at the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur, on August 6, 2002, in an article titled "PRIMES is in P". [1]

  6. Prime number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prime_number

    The progressions of numbers that are 0, 3, or 6 mod 9 contain at most one prime number (the number 3); the remaining progressions of numbers that are 2, 4, 5, 7, and 8 mod 9 have infinitely many prime numbers, with similar numbers of primes in each progression.

  7. Sieve of Pritchard - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sieve_of_Pritchard

    A prime number is a natural number that has no natural number divisors other than the number 1 and itself.. To find all the prime numbers less than or equal to a given integer N, a sieve algorithm examines a set of candidates in the range 2, 3, …, N, and eliminates those that are not prime, leaving the primes at the end.

  8. List of prime numbers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_prime_numbers

    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.

  9. Prime signature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prime_signature

    The prime signature of a number having prime factorization … is the multiset {,, …,}. For example, all prime numbers have a prime signature of {1}, the squares of primes have a prime signature of {2}, the products of 2 distinct primes have a prime signature of {1, 1 } and the products of a square of a prime and a different prime (e.g. 12 ...
