Math Algorithms

Question 1

Math Algorithms

Answer 1

Math algorithms involve solving mathematical problems, such as generating prime numbers, calculating factorials, and performing power and exponentiation operations.

Question 2

Prime Number Generation

Answer 2

Prime Number Generation involves finding and generating prime numbers. Prime numbers are natural numbers greater than 1 that have no divisors other than 1 and themselves. There are various algorithms to generate prime numbers, such as the Sieve of Eratosthenes and probabilistic algorithms like the Miller-Rabin primality test.

Question 3

Factorial Calculation

Answer 3

Factorial Calculation involves computing the factorial of a non-negative integer. The factorial of a non-negative integer n, denoted as n!, is the product of all positive integers from 1 to n. It is often calculated using recursion or iteration. For example, 5! = 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 = 120.

Question 4

Power and Exponentiation

Answer 4

Power and Exponentiation involve calculating the result of raising a number (base) to a certain exponent. Common algorithms for exponentiation include:
Repeated Multiplication: Repeatedly multiply the base by itself for the specified number of times.
Exponentiation by Squaring: Utilize a recursive or iterative algorithm that reduces the number of multiplications required by exploiting properties of even and odd exponents.
