The Atkin-Morain example given on Wikipedia is too small for you to see the recursion in action. In real life, the value of q or the largest prime factor of s will be almost as big as N and must...

By Euler's criterion (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler%27s_criterion), if p is prime, then a(p-1)/2 is 1 mod p if a is a square mod p, and -1 mod p if a is not a square mod p. So it suffices to...

If k is odd, then x^k+1 factorizes as (x+1)(x^(k-1)-x^(k-2)+...-x+1). Substituting 10^m for x, we see that 10^km+1 is divisible by 10^m+1 if k is odd. In other words, 10^n+1 cannot be prime if n has...

If the base b is prime, then term 1 of sequence b^n will be b^(n-1) + b^(n-2) + ... + b + 1 = (b^n-1)/(b-1). Since b^n-1 divides all numbers of the form b^kn-1, this naturally leads to shared factors...
