Prime Arrows and Targets

 From previously, "Going Around In Circle" dated 09 Jan 2023, 3 has been excluded as a factor of q+2,

the total number of integer marks along arc q+2 from 1 to q+23 is about,

T=q+231+1

after removing 1 and 2 as possible intercepts,

T=q+233+1=q+232=q43

and the number of possible 1st intercept lines from arc q and below is,

a=q122=q52

where arcs 1 and 2 are excluded.  There is more targets than arrows, and the numbers 2, 3, 4 and 5 are involved.

The targets are evenly spaced along arc q+2 at equal angle intervals, π2121q+2=π4(q+2),

3π4(q+2),4π4(q+2), 5π4(q+2)...  (q+2)π34(q+2)=π12 excluded. 

π43(q+2),π44(q+2), π45(q+2)... π4(q+1)3(q+2)

whereas the arrows are at,

(π413) excluded, (π415)(π417), (π419)... (π41q2)

Removing π4 the common factor,

3(q+2),4(q+2), 5(q+2)... (q+1)31(q+2)

1517, 19... 1q2

If these two series share a common member, then q+2 is not prime.

This is nothing new, as  a prime candidate is often tested for all possible factors.  These members are on the delimited line,

1q+2x 

and  3xq+13 

and the curve, 

1x 

but for x odd, 5x(q2)

If the line and the curve intersect within the specified domains at integer points then q+2 is not prime.

The target are on a line and the arrows on a reciprocal curve.  They will meet once, but do they meet in the restricted domains?  The line maybe translated along the x axis, as any coincidental member on the two series will fail q+2 as a prime.


The line and curve will meet, but not necessarily on odd integer points, but always, no matter how large q is, as the curve is translated along the x axis within its domain in odd integer steps,5x(q2).

Integers that are candidates for factors will be below the curve 1x when the line starts at the origin.  As the line translated along x in odd integer steps, candidates  that are not factors are moved above the curve.

Factors will meet on the curve exactly.

Good morning.
