gmp_prob_prime
(PHP 4 >= 4.0.4, PHP 5)
gmp_prob_prime -- Check if number is "probably prime"
Description
int
gmp_prob_prime ( resource a [, int reps] )
If this function returns 0, a is
definitely not prime. If it returns 1, then
a is "probably" prime. If it returns 2,
then a is surely prime. Reasonable values
of reps vary from 5 to 10 (default being
10); a higher value lowers the probability for a non-prime to
pass as a "probable" prime.
The function uses Miller-Rabin's probabilistic test.
Example 1. gmp_prob_prime() example
<?php // definitely not a prime echo gmp_prob_prime("6") . "\n";
// probably a prime echo gmp_prob_prime("1111111111111111111") . "\n";
// definitely a prime echo gmp_prob_prime("11") . "\n"; ?>
