On the location and classification of all prime numbers

TL;DR

This paper introduces an algorithm that classifies all integers into six classes based on their properties related to prime numbers, providing a structured approach to prime location and classification.

Contribution

The work presents a novel classification scheme for integers into six classes, detailing how primes and composites are distributed and generated within this framework.

Findings

Classes α and β contain all primes except ±2 and ±3.

Products within and between classes generate predictable composite numbers.

The classification aids in understanding prime distribution and factorization.

Abstract

We will describe an algorithm to arrange all the positive and negative integer numbers. This array of numbers permits grouping them in six different Classes, $\alpha$, $\beta$, $\gamma$, $\delta$, $\epsilon$, and $\zeta$. Particularly, numbers belong to Class $\alpha$ are defined as $\alpha=1+6 n$, and those of Class $\beta$, as $\beta=5+6n$, where $n=0,\pm1,\pm2,\pm3,\pm4,...$ These two Classes $\alpha$ and $\beta$,contain: i) all prime numbers, except + 2, -2 and $\pm$3, which belong to $\epsilon$, $\delta$, and $\gamma$ Classes, respectively, and ii) all the other odd numbers, except those that are multiple of $\pm$3, according to the sequence $\pm$9, $\pm$15, $\pm$21, $\pm$27, ... Besides, products between numbers of the Class $\alpha$, and also those between numbers of the Class $\beta$, generates numbers belonging to the Class $\alpha$. On the other side, products between numbers of Class $\alpha$ with numbers of Class $\beta$, result in numbers of Class $\beta$. Then, both Classes $\alpha$ and $\beta$ include: i) all the prime numbers except $\pm$2 and $\pm$3, and ii) all the products between $\alpha$ numbers, as $\alpha\cdot\alpha^{\prime}$; all the products between $\beta$ numbers, as $\beta\cdot\beta^{\prime}$; and also all the products between numbers of Classes $\alpha$ and $\beta$, as $\alpha\cdot\beta$, which necessarily are composite numbers, whose factorization is completely determined.
