Prime numbers

Testing for primality by trial division up to the square root.

A prime has no divisors except 1 and itself. To test n, try the primes up to √n only: if n had a factor larger than √n, it would also have one smaller. For enormous numbers this is too slow and probabilistic tests take over, but the idea is the same.

Is 97 prime

97

Алхам алхмаар

  1. \sqrt{97} \approx 9

    Only primes up to √97 need testing: any factor above it pairs with one below.

  2. 97 \bmod 2 = 1

    2 does not divide 97.

  3. 97 \bmod 3 = 1

    3 does not divide 97.

  4. 97 \bmod 5 = 2

    5 does not divide 97.

  5. 97 \bmod 7 = 6

    7 does not divide 97.

  6. \text{97 is prime}

    No prime up to the square root divides it, so it has no factors other than 1 and itself.

Хүмүүс асуудаг асуултууд

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.
