Number Theory

Primes, divisibility, gcd, modular arithmetic and sequences.

Zikumbutso

The mathematics of whole numbers. Some of the oldest problems and the newest cryptography live here: factor a number into primes, run Euclid's algorithm, compute huge powers modulo a prime without ever writing the power down.

Why are primes so important?

Every integer factors into primes in exactly one way, so primes are the atoms of multiplication. Cryptography relies on that factoring being easy to state and hard to do.

How do I tell whether a big number is prime?

Trial division up to the square root works for small numbers. For large ones, probabilistic tests (Miller-Rabin) give an answer that is wrong with negligible probability, and deterministic tests (AKS) exist but are slower.
