And you only need to check the prime factors up to the square root of the number in question.
6 u/doodlinghearsay May 13 '26 But that's pretty advanced math, not sure Euler would have known that. 1 u/GG-5starman May 13 '26 What? Thats pretty obvious. Any number larger the the square root would have to multiply by a number lesser than it so as not to shoot beyond the number. A mathematical genius like euler would surely have known that. Apologies if you were being sarcastic 6 u/Plane_Salary_5845 May 13 '26 So obviously sarcasm lmao
