SEQUENCE ELIMINATION FUNCTION AND THE FORMULAS OF PRIME NUMBERS [PDF]
Far East Journal of Mathematical Education, 2021 We first derive a function that eliminates any sequence of equidistant numbers from the integer numbers, and its inverse. We use the sequence elimination function to eliminate the multiples of the prime numbers from integer numbers to produce formulas that generate all prime numbers in a certain interval.
