Computer Algebra System (CAS)

IREMAINDER works with integers and with Gaussian
integers. This is what distinguishes it from MOD.

Example 2

Typing:

IREMAINDER(2 + 3·i, 1 + i)

gives:

i

ISPRIME?

Returns a value indicating whether an integer is a prime
number. ISPRIME?(n) returns 1 (TRUE) if n is a prime or
pseudo-prime, and 0 (FALSE) if n is not prime.

14

, pseudo-prime

and prime mean the same thing. For numbers greater
than 10

14

, a pseudo-prime is a number with a large

probability of being prime.

Example 1

Typing:

ISPRIME?(13)

gives:

1.

Example 2

Typing:

ISPRIME?(14)

gives:

0.
