Prime numbers #
THIS FILE IS SYNCHRONIZED WITH MATHLIB4. Any changes to this file require a corresponding PR to mathlib4.
This file deals with prime numbers: natural numbers p ≥ 2
whose only divisors are p
and 1
.
Important declarations #
nat.prime
: the predicate that expresses that a natural numberp
is primenat.primes
: the subtype of natural numbers that are primenat.min_fac n
: the minimal prime factor of a natural numbern ≠ 1
nat.exists_infinite_primes
: Euclid's theorem that there exist infinitely many prime numbers. This also appears asnat.not_bdd_above_set_of_prime
andnat.infinite_set_of_prime
(the latter indata.nat.prime_fin
).nat.prime_iff
:nat.prime
coincides with the general definition ofprime
nat.irreducible_iff_prime
: a non-unit natural number is only divisible by1
iff it is prime
nat.prime p
means that p
is a prime number, that is, a natural number
at least 2 whose only divisors are p
and 1
.
Equations
- nat.prime p = irreducible p
Instances for nat.prime
This instance is slower than the instance decidable_prime
defined below,
but has the advantage that it works in the kernel for small values.
If you need to prove that a particular number is prime, in any case
you should not use dec_trivial
, but rather by norm_num
, which is
much faster.
Equations
- p.decidable_prime_1 = decidable_of_iff' (2 ≤ p ∧ ∀ (m : ℕ), 2 ≤ m → m < p → ¬m ∣ p) nat.prime_def_lt'
If n < k * k
, then min_fac_aux n k = n
, if k | n
, then min_fac_aux n k = k
.
Otherwise, min_fac_aux n k = min_fac_aux n (k+2)
using well-founded recursion.
If n
is odd and 1 < n
, then then min_fac_aux n 3
is the smallest prime factor of n
.
Equations
- n.min_fac_aux k = ite (n < k * k) n (ite (k ∣ n) k (n.min_fac_aux (k + 2)))
This instance is faster in the virtual machine than decidable_prime_1
,
but slower in the kernel.
If you need to prove that a particular number is prime, in any case
you should not use dec_trivial
, but rather by norm_num
, which is
much faster.
