@ Geecee thx 4 bringing this back to d top ^{i was lookn 4 d thread a few days ago couldnt find it hw hav u been?}

and correct ur thinking was on d money

@ Infourmer I dey wait 4 ya contribution o

@ Phe and Lady Chi hw u guys doing, missed you

Next up 1597

i hereby submit 1601 as the next prime number. Let d mathematicians in the house check if i'm correct.

1607

@ Geecee I speak on behalf of Prof Chi u r a 101% correct

@finnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnestkid hw u doin young man, I c u hav joined the Mathematicians of d land ! u are welcome

Next up

1609

Hey Amigoz. . . good, u?

Next
1613

im doin great finest.

next up 1619

Thanx Amigoz, u are a darling!

next up shuld be 1621.

u most welcome GeeCee

Nxt up
1627

I suppose next up is 1637

Fineeeeeeeeeeest kid of NL u supposed right ^{must remember to tell aunty u r doin gr8 mathematically}

@topic

Next up 1657

Hi folks! I can see you guys have kept the post active! Nice one there!

@Amigoz.  .  .  .What's up? I'm really sorry for going dark on you. Well, I'm kinda back. still have more of those things to

write. 

@Chiegemba.  .  .  . Thanks so much for emphasizing what seems to be my name. I'll get you soon. Just you wait!

@ Amigoz, i'm kool thank you.


If my calculation is right, then the next PM is 1669.

    

This is pretty cheap and i'll surprise the house by giving the next 50 prime numbers after 1669.  While not seat

back and learn from the trend which is as follows:

Hmmm Ms Agbula ! please come back and defend your results, we the students of 'Next Prime Number Please:' are interested in how u managed to dish out 50 Prime numbers like dat

Questions like -

How long did it take you to calculate each PM?
Wot method did u use in working them out?
Or did u consult Mr WWW? ^{most obvious answer i sppse}, but rest assured u are innocent until found guilty !

Amigoz, go back to the basis and am sure u'll remember, prime number to be a number that can only be divided by itself and 1.

Well, it did not take me hours to generate the primes for i use it often to generate bio- statitics data on the project am handling for a firm using this program:

// arbitrary search limit
limit ← 1000000

// assume all numbers are prime at first
is_prime(i) ← true, i ∈ [2, limit]

Thus, the next prime is

for n in [2, √limit]:
if is_prime(n):
// eliminate multiples of each prime,
// starting with its square
// 2n, 3n, …, (n-1)n already eliminated
// nn, (n+1)n, (n+2)n, … to be eliminated
is_prime(i) ← false, i ∈ {n², n²+n, n²+2n, …, limit}

for n in [2, limit]:
if is_prime(n): print n

Thus, the next set of prime are,

2089

Sorry, I would have love to generate another 50 prime's but I'm running late for the XPERIENCE.

I mavel at agbula!      _{though I don't understand the program one little bit. . .}       [color=#000099][/color]

@ Agbula , hmm dat explains it ! u just destabilised my train of thots with dat programmin lingo _{keep on keepn it real sis}

@ Finessssssssssst I hear u cutie

@ topic
Next 2339

Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii "Missed u Guys oooo!" am almost back just have 2wks 2 go. then i would go through each and every number 2 c which is and isnt a Prime Number _{better go back and review ur postin b4 i start cross-checkin} kiddin!

Prooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooof Chieeeeeeeeeeeee glad u cld join us 2dy if only briefly lookn 4rd 2 d cross checkin _{hw hav u been sweet, misseeeeed u}

Amigoz:

Prooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooof Chieeeeeeeeeeeee glad u cld join us 2dy if only briefly lookn 4rd to the cross checkin _{hw hav u been sweet, misseeeeed u}

Thanks Girl! missed u a great deal 2. been ok almost done with d hectic semester "Glory B 2 God" so how r u doin hope say u dont have no wrong PM b4 i start cross-checkin ooo , anyways glad 2 have u on 2 where Dr. Phe and GeeCee go? seen we've had new members nice!

GeeCee reporting.
Helo Amigoz.
Long time chiegemba.
Well don agbula.

@ post, next pm is 2341

Next pm
2347
2351
2357

Hmmm GeeCee !! me is thinking u hav been snogging Ms Agbula c u droppn no's like its hot!! _{hpe u aint been taking some extra lessons o} I will let Prof Chi investigate

Nxt up 2361

@ Amigoz, i just hope my primes are right. But before the prof comes let me quickly point it out to you that your 2361 is not a prime number. It is divisible by 3.

Love u.

@ GeeCee well spotted

2363 :p

@ hollandis, sorry 2363 divided by 17 gives 139. Thus 2363 is not a prime number.

Next PM is 2371.

Next up 2377 _tentatively
