What is a Prime Number ?
A number that is divisible only by itself and 1 (e.g. 2, 3, 5, 7, 11). All whole numbers above than 1 are either composite or prime.A prime is a whole number, and the only whole numbers that exactly divide into it, without a remainder, it is number divided by itself.
Example: 7 is a prime number. We can’t multiply 2, 3 or 4 together to make 7. (Only 1×7 works but we said to use other whole numbers.)
Example: 8 can be made by 2 × 4 so is NOT a prime number (it is a composite number).
Function
// Method 1 function primenumber_1($number) { $i = 2; for ($i = 2; $i <= $number-1; $i++) { if($number % $i == 0){ return false; break; } } if($i==$number){ return true; } } // Method 2 function primenumber_2($number) { $con1 = ($number == 2 || $number == 3 || $number == 5 || $number == 7) ? 1 : 0; $con2 = ($number % 2 && $number % 3 && $number % 5 && $number % 7) ? 1 : 0; $con3 = ($number != 0 && $number != 1) ? 1 : 0; return ($con1 || $con2 && $con3) ? 1 : 0; } // Method 3 Similar to Method 2 function primenumber_3($number){ if($number == 2 || $number == 3 || $number == 5 || $number == 7 || $number % 2 && $number % 3 && $number % 5 && $number % 7 && $number != 0 && $number != 1){ return true; }else{ return false; } }
Method 1
//Method 1 function primenumber_1($number) { $i = 2; for ($i = 2; $i <= $number-1; $i++) { if($number % $i == 0){ return false; break; } } if($i==$number){ return true; } } $number=7; echo (primenumber_1($number))? "$number is Prime Number ": "$number is Not Prime"; //7 is Prime Number
Method 2
//Method 2 function primenumber_2($number) { $con1 = ($number == 2 || $number == 3 || $number == 5 || $number == 7) ? 1 : 0; // We Know 2 3 4 5 7 is Prime $con2 = ($number % 2 && $number % 3 && $number % 5 && $number % 7) ? 1 : 0; // Every Prime Number Divided by it Self // if number is divided with 2,3,5,7 we Get remainder 1 or greater its Prime Number // Else we Know its Divided itself so number is Not Prime $con3 = ($number != 0 && $number != 1) ? 1 : 0; // zero and One is Not Prime return ($con1 || $con2 && $con3) ? 1 : 0; } $number = 8; echo (primenumber_2($number))? "$number is Prime Number ": "$number is Not Prime"; // 8 is Not Prime
