Kapitel 360: Chapter 238: Terrifying Amount of Thesis (Seeking Monthly Votes)_3

But algorithms can simplify a lot.

For example, when the divisor is greater than or equal to the result, the verification can stop there.

This one rule greatly reduces the amount of calculation.

Also, the best strategy is certainly to have the number being tested divided only once by a prime number less than or equal to the square root. But designing an algorithm for this can be complex unless you want to list out all the prime numbers.

And so on.

So, can using a computer to verify prime numbers and other ways related to prime numbers help crack the Goldbach Conjecture?

For instance, a characteristic of an even number is that it would be ruled out as a prime number from the initial divide-by-two verification.

What exactly is the correlation between this characteristic and its ability to be broken down into the sum of two prime numbers?

Zhao Yi sank into deep thought.
