Listing Prime Numbers Periodically

Over millennia, people have considered prime numbers as unpredictable and hard to list. This study confirms that all positive integers without factors of 2, 3, 5 and 7 can be regarded as the offspring of 48 roots in the interval [11, 220]. These roots are to generate a Factor-Pair Table composed of 48 columns, each of which forms a basic binary matrix to indicate the locations of composite numbers. For a given interval, these composites are removed via mapping effect. After primality checking of the rest of the numbers, we identify all primes within the interval. We then form a Formula of Primes for prime prediction. Moreover, the Periodic Table of Primes (PTP) [1] is reconstructed based on the proposed algorithm to illustrate the distribution of primes and composites.

Abstract

Over millennia, people have considered prime numbers as unpredictable and hard to list. This study confirms that all positive integers without factors of 2, 3, 5 and 7 can be regarded as the offspring of 48 roots in the interval [11, 220]. These roots are to generate a Factor-Pair Table composed of 48 columns, each of which forms a basic binary matrix to indicate the locations of composite numbers. For a given interval, these composites are removed via mapping effect. After primality checking of the rest of the numbers, we identify all primes within the interval. We then form a Formula of Primes for prime prediction. Moreover, the Periodic Table of Primes (PTP) [1] is reconstructed based on the proposed algorithm to illustrate the distribution of primes and composites.
