There is no "formula"..........there are a number of algorithms used in testing for primes....but......so far......nobody has ever developed a foolproof "formula" for detecting whether a specific number is prime, or not

Thanks, Melody......I'll take a look at that, too....!!!!

You have probably seen it before Chris, it has been floating about the forum for a year now.  :)
