Warning
- The maximum term is 93, which is \(12,200,160,415,121,876,738\); the 94th term exceeds 64 bits.
- Risk of overflow if it’s exceed 64 bits. \(2^{64} -1 = 18,446,744,073,709,551,615.\)
Improvements for searching prime numbers¶
-
If you want to optimize it, you can consider the following tips:
- Avoid testing even numbers.
- Stop testing when the divisor is greater than the square root of the number.
-
You can also explore more efficient algorithms such as:
- The sieve of Eratosthenes tables.
- The Miller-Rabin algorithm, although it is not the purpose of this test.
