GMP_PROB_PRIME(3) 1 GMP_PROB_PRIME(3) gmp_prob_prime - Check if number is "probably prime"SYNOPSISint gmp_prob_prime (GMP $a, [int $reps = 10])DESCRIPTIONThe function uses Miller-Rabin's probabilistic test to check if a number is a prime.PARAMETERSo $a - The number being checked as a prime. Either a GMP number resource in PHP 5.5 and earlier, a GMP object in PHP 5.6 and later, or a numeric string provided that it is possible to convert the latter to a number. o $reps - 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. Either a GMP number resource in PHP 5.5 and earlier, a GMP object in PHP 5.6 and later, or a numeric string provided that it is possible to convert the latter to a number.RETURN VALUESIf 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.EXAMPLESExample #1 gmp_prob_prime(3) example <?php // definitely not a prime echo gmp_prob_prime("6") . " "; // probably a prime echo gmp_prob_prime("1111111111111111111") . " "; // definitely a prime echo gmp_prob_prime("11") . " "; ?> The above example will output: 0 1 2 PHP Documentation Group GMP_PROB_PRIME(3)
