Hexagonal stratification of numbers
Manuel Meireles · 2008
In this article is presented a stratification of the natural numbers in way to highlight potential prime numbers. Initially it was done the hexagonal stratification and it is verified that all and any prime number can be written in the form 6a+1 or 6a+5. Then, it was done to the penta-hexagonal stratification and it was observed that all and any prime number can be written as: 30a+1; 30a+7; 30a+13; 30a+19; 30a+11; 30a+17; 30a+23 and 30a+29. All and any prime number can be written in one these ways. With the hexagonal or hexapentagonal stratification becomes easier to identify a potential prime number but. This article interests potentially for all those that are researching primality tests with views to reduce time in the computational algorithms.
