A prime number is a natural number greater than 1 that has exactly two divisors: 1 and itself. Primes are the fundamental building blocks of all integers — every integer greater than 1 is either prime or a product of primes (Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic).

단계별 가이드

  1. 1Trial division: test divisibility by all integers up to √n
  2. 2If n has a factor, one factor must be ≤ √n
  3. 3Optimisation: only test 2, 3, then numbers of the form 6k±1
  4. 4For large numbers, probabilistic tests like Miller-Rabin are used
