Primes with Fermat

Description
|
This program utilizes the fact that if you have two positive numbers A and B, and sqrt(B^2 - A) is a positive integer, then B - sqrt(B^2 - A) and B + sqrt(B^2 - A) are factors in A. If A has two factors, ( which may or may not be prime numbers ), B is ( F1 + F2)/2, where F1 is the smallest factor. This is known as Fermats factorisation method. So B is always bigger than or equal to sqrt A and smaller than or equal to F2. Therefore this method is extremely fast when the two factors are of similar size. However it is just as slow a way, when there is a big difference in size, compared to an ordinary program, and so this program also features a very fast conventional program, which counts up much faster than the ordinary one. New in this version is a much faster program, that replaces the previous four. Enclosed is a link to a Wikipedia article on the subject.
