Specifically, the task is to implement a software component that exposes a method for retrieving all the probable prime numbers in a given range (with an upper and lower bound given).

A year after tackling how close together prime number pairs can stay, mathematicians have now made the first major advance in 76 years in understanding how far apart primes can be.

A new algorithm brings together the advantages of randomness and deterministic processes to reliably construct large prime numbers.

Researchers at Princeton have discovered a similarity between the patterns of atoms in certain crystal-like materials and prime numbers. Here, red dots denote non-prime numbers and black dots denote ...
