Mar 12, 2011 · The fastest way is to precalculate a bit array (indicating prime/nonprime) of all possible integers in the range you're interested in. For 32-bit unsigned integers, that's only 512M, which will easily fit in modern address spaces (and, even if it didn't, it would be a fast file lookup).
Oct 31, 2014 · Solution 1 checked numbers that weren't prime, having redundancy, and the solution 2 checked numbers above the square root, which can never be a dividend if the smaller numbers aren't. In this solution, we check if the number is divisible only by prime numbers below the squared root. int primes[num]; int cont = 1;

Dec 13, 2010 · 2. Use mathematics first find square root of number then start loop till the number ends which you get after square rooting. check for each value whether the given number is divisible by the iterating value .if any value divides the given number then it is not a prime number otherwise prime. Here is the code.
Primesieve Sieve of Eratosthenes (SoE) is the very fastest algorithm possible and will always be faster than any implementation of the Sieve of Atkin SoA, including Bernstein's as linked in this answer because primesieve reduces the number of operations compared to SoA: For the 32-bit number range (2^32 - 1), primesieve does about 1.2 billion culls whereas SoA does a total of about 1.4 billion combined toggle and square free operations, both operations being of about the same complexity and ...
Jan 12, 2020 · 1.Declare a variable int and initialize it by 0 (int a=0). 2.Then in the inner for loop in the if statement increase the value of a for each division. If(i÷j==0) {a=a+1;//or a++. } 3.Get out of the loop now and look if the value of the a is still 0 then i is a prime else it's not! answered Jul 28, 2018 at 16:22.
Jul 21, 2018 · @Servy What do you mean with "If it's sufficiently small it's not even going to be inefficient"? If you sieve up to sqrt(n) to get the primes you need for trial division, the sieving is more work than the unnecessary divisions by composites, if you avoid multiples of 2, 3, and maybe 5, if you're enterprisy.
Apr 23, 2012 · As Michael Burr points out, the friend's prime function identifies 25 (5×5) and 35 (5×7) as prime, and generates 177 numbers under 1000 as prime whereas, I believe, there are just 168 primes in that range.
Nov 23, 2015 · Make an educated guess how large the n-th prime would be. Say the guess is x. Use the algorithm above to find out how many primes <= x there are, then use a sieve if you are close enough, or use a better guess with the information you just found and try again. Total time O (n^ (2/3)).
In mathematics, a prime number (or a prime) is a natural number that has exactly two distinct natural number divisors: 1 and itself. so a very simple and naive algorithm on checking whether a number is prime could be:
