CoCoA:NextPPrime

NextPPrime

find the next largest probable prime number

Description

This function computes the smallest probable prime number greater than N. If

N is negative an error is generated. This

function can generate primes larger than permitted as the characteristic of a finite field in CoCoA.

Example

  NextPPrime(1000);
1009
-------------------------------
  NextPPrime(10^50);
100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000151
