Re: [Tutor] improving the speed of prime number code

One potential way to speed up is not to divide by every prime in your pz list, but only up to the square root of i. For example, to test if 37 is prime, you would only need to look at primes less than or equal to int(sqrt(37)) = 6.08. . . Tony R. On Fri, Feb 6, 2009 at 4:19 PM, H.G. le Roy wrot
