"Moving to misc math" >> "thread deletion"

[quote=3.14159;216325]By TF, you mean "trial division", correct? The result does make sense, in that case, as all it has to do for trial division is one operation per prime (n/p[sub]n[/sub]) Up to ≈(√n)[/quote]

[QUOTE=fivemack;216354]Please advise as to why I shouldn't delete this thread[/QUOTE]I'd rather advise you to delete this thread.
