Abstract

Integer is either a composite number or a prime number. Therefore, detecting composite numbers is important for solving prime numbers. The study of prime numbers, apart from satisfying human curiosity, can be very important. In this article, the order of composite numbers has been detected. And explained with a simple method and a simple function. And, a method has been developed in which all composite numbers and therefore prime numbers can be determined by using the specified methods, functions and formulas.

Keywords

Comment: Mr Gocgen:

I am unsure what new insight you provide.

Hugh Barker (2012) provides the equation that produces all odd composites:
2x + 4y(x+y) -1 (x,y integers each > 0)
ref: http://barkerhugh.blogspot.in/2012/05/composite-number-formula.html

This combined with knowing all primes (after 2,3) must appear at 6m+/-1 completely dictates the location of the primes.
