This illustrates the deep connection between the zeros of the zeta function and the distribution of. Equivalently, a perfect number is a number that is half the sum of all of its positive divisors (including itself).

This Demonstration shows how to use the zeros (roots) of the Riemann zeta function to get a smooth function that closely tracks the jumps and irregularities of. Primes occur seemingly at random, so the graph of is quite irregular. Are there infinitely many primes of the form n # + 1 n\# + 1 n # + 1? (where n # n\# n # is the product of all primes ≤ n n n. In number theory, is the number of primes less than or equal to.Euclid also gives a proof of the Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic: Every integer can be written as a product of primes in an essentially unique way.Įuclid also showed that if the number 2 n − 1 2^ - 79 n + 1601 n 2 − 7 9 n + 1 6 0 1 which is prime for 0 ≤ n ≤ 79 0 ≤ n ≤ 79 0 ≤ n ≤ 7 9. This is one of the first proofs known which uses the method of contradiction to establish a result. In Book IX of the Elements, Euclid proves that there are infinitely many prime numbers. You can see more about these numbers in the History topics article Perfect numbers.īy the time Euclid's Elements appeared in about 300 BC, several important results about primes had been proved. The number 6 has proper divisors 1, 2 and 3 and 1 + 2 + 3 = 6, 28 has divisors 1, 2, 4, 7 and 14 and 1 + 2 + 4 + 7 + 14 = 28.Ī pair of amicable numbers is a pair like 220 and 284 such that the proper divisors of one number sum to the other and vice versa. They understood the idea of primality and were interested in perfect and amicable numbers.Ī perfect number is one whose proper divisors sum to the number itself. for i in range(2, 1001) This will change the highest value of i to 1000. The mathematicians of Pythagoras's school (500 BC to 300 BC ) were interested in numbers for their mystical and numerological properties. If you do want to have your program check if 1000 is a prime number, you can simply change the loop’s syntax to. Prime numbers and their properties were first studied extensively by the ancient Greek mathematicians.
