  2. Prime number theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prime_number_theorem

    For example, π(10) = 4 because there are four prime numbers (2, 3, 5 and 7) less than or equal to 10. The prime number theorem then states that x / log x is a good approximation to π(x) (where log here means the natural logarithm), in the sense that the limit of the quotient of the two functions π(x) and x / log x as x increases without ...

  3. Number theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Number_theory

    Number theory is a branch of pure mathematics devoted primarily to the study of the integers and arithmetic functions.German mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss (1777–1855) said, "Mathematics is the queen of the sciences—and number theory is the queen of mathematics."

  4. 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.

  5. List of Mersenne primes and perfect numbers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Mersenne_primes...

    Mersenne primes and perfect numbers are two deeply interlinked types of natural numbers in number theory. Mersenne primes, named after the friar Marin Mersenne, are prime numbers that can be expressed as 2 p − 1 for some positive integer p. For example, 3 is a Mersenne prime as it is a prime number and is expressible as 2 2 − 1.

  6. Prime number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prime_number

    Therefore, every prime number other than 2 is an odd number, and is called an odd prime. [10] Similarly, when written in the usual decimal system, all prime numbers larger than 5 end in 1, 3, 7, or 9. The numbers that end with other digits are all composite: decimal numbers that end in 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8 are even, and decimal numbers that end in ...

  7. Full reptend prime - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full_reptend_prime

    In number theory, a full reptend prime, ... 166 or long prime in base b is an odd prime number p such that ... In base 10, if a full reptend prime ends in the digit 1 ...

  8. Elliott–Halberstam conjecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elliott–Halberstam...

    In number theory, the Elliott–Halberstam conjecture is a conjecture about the distribution of prime numbers in arithmetic progressions. It has many applications in sieve theory. It is named for Peter D. T. A. Elliott and Heini Halberstam, who stated a specific version of the conjecture in 1968. [1]

  9. Truncatable prime - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truncatable_prime

    A left-and-right-truncatable prime is a prime which remains prime if the leading ("left") and last ("right") digits are simultaneously successively removed down to a one- or two-digit prime. 1825711 is an example of a left-and-right-truncatable prime, since 1825711, 82571, 257, and 5 are all prime. In base 10, there are exactly 4260 left ...
