A few calculations:
- There are 9592 prime numbers less than 100,000. Assuming the test suite only tests numbers 1-99999, the accuracy should actually be only 90.408%, not 95.121%
- The 1 trillionth prime number is 29,996,224,275,833. This would mean even the first 29 trillion primes would only get you to 96.667% accuracy.
- The density of primes can be approximated using the Prime Number Theorem:
1/ln(x)
. Solving99.9995 = 100 - 100 / ln(x)
for x givese^200000
or7.88 × 10^86858
. In other words, the universe will end before any current computer could check that many numbers.
they did the math!
