PHP | gmp_prob_prime() Function

The gmp_prob_prime() is a built-in function in PHP which is used to check how much is the possibility of given GMP number(GNU Multiple Precision : For large numbers) to be prime or not. This function uses Miller-Rabin primality test to check if the given GMP number is prime or not. Syntax:

gmp_prob_prime($num)

Parameters: The function accepts a GMP number $num as mandatory parameter as shown in the above syntax. This parameter can be a GMP object in PHP version 5.6 and later, or we are also allowed to pass numeric string such that it is possible to convert this string in number. Return Value: This function returns value in the range 0-2, 0 if the number is definitely not prime, 1 if the number may be prime else 2 if the number is surely prime. Examples:

 Input : gmp_prob_prime("8") Output : 0 Input : gmp_prob_prime("11111111111111") Output : 1 Input: gmp_prob_prime("127") Output: 2 

Below programs illustrate the gmp_prob_prime() function in PHP: Program 1: Program to find the prime probability of GMP number when numeric strings as GMP numbers are passed as arguments. php

<?php // PHP program to find the prime probability of // GMP numbers passed as arguments  // strings as GMP numbers $num = "17"; // calculate the possibility // of GMP number to be prime $prob = gmp_prob_prime($num); echo $prob; ?> 

Output:

 2 

Program 2: Program to find the prime probability of GMP number when GMP numbers are passed as arguments. php

<?php // PHP program to find the prime probability of // GMP numbers passed as arguments  // creating GMP numbers using gmp_init() $num = gmp_init(8); // calculate the possibility of // GMP number to be prime $prob = gmp_prob_prime($num); echo $prob; ?> 

Output:

 0 

Program 3: Program to find the prime probability of GMP number when GMP numbers are passed as arguments. php

<?php // PHP program to find the prime probability of // GMP numbers passed as arguments  // creating GMP numbers using gmp_init() $num = gmp_init(1111111111111111111); // calculate the possibility of // GMP number to be prime $prob = gmp_prob_prime($num); echo $prob; ?> 

Output:

 1
