In a sequel to the paper on small number primality detection by mental arithmetic.In this paper, we consider primality detection of four digit prime numbers, leading next to larger six digit and eight digit numbers, optionally scaled to arbitrary sized numbers. Several mental arithmetic techniques as mental arithmetic exercises from literature are cited, towards effective primality detection, by mental arithmetic only.The “large primes” mental arithmetic skill is developed both as a web based UI and as a UI based on slack, using the Wolfram Alpha nd Wolfram API , for primality testing and for Easter Eggs on prime numbers.Keywords: ASD, prime number determination, autistic savants, mathematical testing, Alexa Skills, learning and Cognition, Rabin-Miller test, Lucas test, fermat primes.

‘Prime-time mathematics’ explores prime numbers, which lie at the heart of number theory. Some primes cluster together and some are widely spread, while primes go on forever. The Sieve of Eratosthenes (3rd century BC) is an ancient method for identifying primes by iteratively marking the multiples of each prime as not prime. Every integer greater than 1 is either a prime number or can be written as a product of primes. Mersenne primes, named after French friar Marin de Mersenne, are prime numbers that are one less than a power of 2. Pierre de Fermat and Leonhard Euler were also prime number enthusiasts. The five Fermat primes are used in a problem from geometry.

In this paper, according to some numerical computational evidence, we investigate and prove certain identities and properties on the absolute Möbius divisor functions and Euler totient function when they are iterated. Subsequently, the relationship between the absolute Möbius divisor function with Fermat primes has been researched and some results have been obtained.

Cyclotomy is concerned with the division of a circle into a given number of equal segments, amounting to the construction of a regular polygon, say a q-gon, so that we need to deliver the angle α = 2π / q, or the length cos α. The construction is by Euclidean means, which make use of only ruler and compasses. Now, from given lengths, sums and differences of lengths are easy to obtain and, with the compasses, products and quotients of lengths can be obtained from similar triangles using parallel lines; indeed even the length can be obtained by applying the intersecting chord theorem to a circle with diameter 1 + a. However, there is not much else one can do with the compasses, so that the length cos α has to come from the real roots of a sequence of quadratic equations with ‘suitable’ coefficients — the meaning of being suitable will be made clear later.Gauss made the first significant contribution to the classical theory of cyclotomy in Article 365 of his famous Disquisitiones Arithmeticae [1] in 1801. He showed that the construction is possible if q = p is a Fermat prime, that is a prime of the form 22n + 1; see §7 for a necessary and sufficient condition for q. The only known Fermat primes are p = 3, 5, 17, 257, 65537; the cases p = 3, 5 and 17 correspond to the construction of the equilateral triangle, the regular pentagon, and the regular heptadecagon, the details for which Gauss gave.

We study the number of divisors in residue classes modulo m and prove, for example, that the exact equidistribution holds for almost all natural numbers coprime to m in the sense of natural density if and only if m = 2kp1p2…ps, where k and s are non-negative integers and pj are distinct Fermat primes. We also provide a general and exact lower bound for the proportion of divisors in the residue class 1 mod m. The same combinatorial technique using Davenport's constant leads to exact lower bounds for the number of representations of a natural number by a given binary quadratic form with a negative discriminant.
