what are the efficient ways to check that a given number is primer
assuming the numbers can be large.

There are many, but the one i know how to code is fermat's primality test.
How to calculate all prime numbers between a given range efficiently i read
somewhere that we can do bit-masking to store whether a number is prime or
not, thus saving space ?
I generally use double prime sieve.

There are deterministic polyomial-time algorithm. [AKS-primality]
Miller-Robin primality test is a non-deterministic primality test with
almost zero
chance of error.
[All above  based on some modification/improvement on fermat's theorem]

GNU Multi Precission library can be used to handle large integers/primes.
