Another Question Via Email

(I received this Q via email from "santhoshkumar". I have replied pointing to this post, so hopefully they will come along and clarify a bit!)

Respected sir /madam .i am guy form India ,I
want to know when does the prime number comes .after what time of
number does the prime number comes .I found in web site that all
the prime number comes after or number divisible by 6.expect
2&3.are try to send me how does the next number comes after what
type number does the number come in given sum below I will be very
use full if  u do this for me or try guide me whom to contact by
web or e-mail I am very poor to by some costly book or try to work
out and send me with an example for give some which I got by mail

Re: Another Question Via Email

When I think for a while, I found an interesting fact:
The question is
Which remainders by K suppose that p is eventually prime?
So, if  tru
If a number is from the form


if GCD[K,G]>1 then L is truely non-prime.
So, if all prime, greater than K are from the form

then for all 1<i<K-1 GCD[i,K]>1
Let find the chain of K-s
The firs member is 4:
GCD[4,2]=2
The second is 6:
GCD[6,2]=2
GCD[6,3]=3
GCD[6,4]=2
Is there third?
I think there isn't.
Here's what have to be prooved:
There isn't number H greater than 6 for such every prime numbers, greater or equal to H-1 are from the form

Re: Another Question Via Email

Hi Santhos. Glad you arrived here. Now we can discuss primes with you. smile

Primes are actually hard to predict, and you can't use the formulas p=6i±1 or p=4i±1 to find them. But every prime does have those two properties.

For example, 37 is a prime. It is 6×6+1, but there is no prime at 6×6-1 (=35, which is not prime).

We have a short list of prime numbers, and a useful Prime Factorization Tool. You can use that tool to check to see if a number is prime or not (if a number cannot be factored it is prime)

Hi r.santhoskumar,
I am sure those two links would be helpful.
Here's another bigger list of Prime numbers and more about Prime numbers.

A five minute analysis on a number line reveals that p=6i±1, and the equation with the 4 is not needed.

Re: Another Question Via Email

And for my problem:I prooved that ther there isn't third number. That means that for number k greater than 6 there exist prime number p that is not from the form ik +- 1.

Thank you for your message.

Forgive me if I misunderstand it, I found it hard to
read.... my mail program may have removed some of the formatting.

I am only an amateur in Number Theory. I have
found that the following book very helpful and a continuing
pleasure to return to:
From Zero to Infinity: what makes numbers interesting
by Constance Reid
(Many editions... look in libraries and 2nd hand book stores,
or $7 (used) on amazon.com).

Let me see if I have understood your question.
It helps if we use algebra to clarify what we want to say.

Suppose we have a prime `p`, what can we say about `p-1` and
`p+1` the numbers before and after `p`.

Well if `p` is greater than 2 then it will not be divisible by 2.
It has to be odd. There must be a remainder when we divide
by 2. And this remainder has to be 1.

So
p = 2*n+1
for some number n=1,2,3...

So:
p-1 = 2*n

So p-1 is divisible by 2.

More
p+1 = 2n+1+1 = 2*n+2 = 2*(n+1)
another even number.

So: Each prime p>2, is surrounded by two even numbers.

Now consider 3. Each prime p > 3 can not
be divisible by 3. There must be a (nonzero) remainder.

This reminder is either 1 or 2.

So, either
p = 3*n+1 or p=3*n+2 for some n:1..

So either
p-1=3*n or p+1 = 3*n+3 = 3*(n+1)

So either p-1 or p+1 is divisible by 3.

But both p-1 and p+1 are divisible by 2.

So either p-1 or p+1 is divisible by 6.

MORE: consider 4: p-1 and p+1 are both even and p+1 = (p-1)+2,
so one of these two numbers is divisible by 4.
(the multiples of four are every other multiple of 2: 2,4,6,8,10,12,...)


SO: each prime has a multiple of 4 on one side or the other,
as well as a multiple of 6.

Is there a more general property.... about multiples of 5,7,11, ...

Perhaps. I'm no expert. But consider a number n
and a prime p that is larger than 2*n, then we know
that
p = n*q+r for some q>1 and r:1..(n-1).
So (visualize the numbers in line with n*q+1, n*q+2, ....n*q+(n-1)
sliding below them...)
either n*q or n*(q+1) is within n/2 of p.

(I guess)
Example: each prime>14 is within 4 of a multiple of 7.

That's about as far as I can go.... I think more complex
patterns need some complicated Number Theory.

I hope this helps.... don't lose the interest in numbers.
They are an endless comfort and distraction... and occasional
source of fun.

my web... can I quote your name or EMail??

5 1 0 5 4 9 9
0 8 7 0 5 9 5
8 0 9 5 6 3 9
5 6 7 4 9 5 0

A colleague has kindly supplied the following when a number is divided by 6 we get a quotient and then a remainder between 0 and 5. The numbers of the form 6n or 6n+4 = 2(3n+2) cannot be prime. The numbers of the form 6n+2 are divisible by 2 and so only 2 occurs as a prime here. Similarly numbers of the form 6n+3 are divisible by 3 and only 3 occurs as a prime. So primes larger than 3 have either the form 6n+1 or the form 6n+5. The first are 1 more than 6n while the second are 1 less than 6(n+1).

Re: Another Question Via Email

Sorry, santh, first time i didn't saw your last post. It's pretty good.  And something interesting.
Conjecture:
Let p-prime.
Then for every k∈[1,p) there exist prime number q>p for such
q==k(mod p)

I'll test it using computer program.

Yes, but just because you always see fish in water, does not mean that every time you see water there will be fish smile

The primes are a bit like fish too. When you find one you recognise it (in the case of primes you test to make sure they have no prime factors). But you don't always find them where you expect.
