Oct 11, 2021 at 13:54 comment added gnasher729 What’s is name, that’s for large numbers. And for checking individual primes. It would be useless to find all primes from 10^15 to 10^15 + 10^10, for example. Which a sieve handles just fine. (Less in a minute if you don’t try hard at all).
Oct 11, 2021 at 4:46 comment added whatsisname @gnasher729: example en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miller%E2%80%93Rabin_primality_test though probabilistic, you can run it multiple times with different values to get an acceptable probability of primality. There are others likely linked in that article.
Oct 10, 2021 at 15:07 comment added gnasher729 @BobDalgleish, that's interesting. Could you give some reference for this?
Oct 8, 2021 at 16:16 comment added BobDalgleish There are a number of algorithms which are substantially faster than the Sieve of Eratosthenes. Some are at least an order of magnitude faster. However, the main blockage would be how you represent integers.

Apr 2, 2014 at 9:22 comment added Thomas Ayoub @OldCurmudgeon I'll take a look and hope it'll fit with C++, thanks.
