Using Periodic Functions to Determine Primes Composites and Factors

Authors: William Blickos

This paper discusses connections between periodic functions and primes, composites, and factors. Specifically, it shows how to use periodic functions to construct formulas for the following: the number of factors of a number, the specific factors of a number, the exact prime counting function and distribution, the nth prime, primes of any size, ”product polynomials” as periodic functions, primality and composite tests, prime gap finders, and ”anti-pulses.”
