A primality test is an algorithm for determining whether an input number is prime.Among other fields of mathematics, it is used for cryptography.Unlike integer factorization, primality tests do not generally give prime factors, only stating whether the input number is prime or not.
Suppose we wish to determine whether n = 221 is prime.Randomly pick 1 < a < 220, say a = 38.We check the above congruence and find that it holds: = (). Either 221 is prime, or 38 is a Fermat liar, so we take another a, say 24:
The Miller–Rabin primality test or Rabin–Miller primality test is a probabilistic primality test: an algorithm which determines whether a given number is likely to be prime, similar to the Fermat primality test and the Solovay–Strassen 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".

We continue recursively in this manner until we reach a number known to be prime, such as 2. We end up with a tree of prime numbers, each associated with a witness a. For example, here is a complete Pratt certificate for the number 229: 229 (a = 6, 229 − 1 = 2 2 × 3 × 19), 2 (known prime), 3 (a = 2, 3 − 1 = 2), 2 (known prime),
Prime rib and standing rib roasts can also be sold trimmed and tied (or frenched). This means that the butcher cuts the ribs away from the meat, then ties it all back together again, which makes ...
If is an odd prime, this is equal to the Legendre symbol, and decides whether is a quadratic residue modulo . On the other hand, since the equivalence of a n − 1 2 {\displaystyle a^{\frac {n-1}{2}}} to the Jacobi symbol holds for all odd primes, but not necessarily for composite numbers, calculating both and comparing them can be used as a ...
Chopra says Rodgers was immediately “really trusting” with him and Hughes, adding that throughout their year working together on the documentary, Rodgers “was very open and vulnerable.”
