Examples

An integer factorization algorithm can decide primality. Source: Internet

Although much more efficient methods of primality testing are known, the existence of any effective method is enough to establish decidability. Source: Internet

Faulty key generation seeAlso Finding the large primes p and q is usually done by testing random numbers of the right size with probabilistic primality tests which quickly eliminate virtually all non-primes. Source: Internet

However, deterministic primality tests are slow. Source: Internet

Many mathematicians have worked on primality tests for large numbers, often restricted to specific number forms. Source: Internet

More generally, numbers of the form without the primality requirement are called Mersenne numbers. Source: Internet
