Factorization and primality testing /

Civilizations as separate as the Egyptians of ten thousand years ago and the Central American Mayans adopted a month of thirty days and a year of twelve months. At the other extreme are those integers with no smaller divisors other than 1, integers which might be called the indivisibles.
