:The quickest way I know of to get from one prime to the next without using a sieve is to use GMP's ''mpz_nextprime'' function though the numbers here are 'small' by GMP's standards and there may be quicker ways which are optimized for 8 byte integers. Even so, it seems an extremely tall order to brute force this in only 2 hours and you may be right that he has a pre-built file or files of prime numbers to use for his OEIS work. --[[User:PureFox|PureFox]] ([[User talk:PureFox|talk]]) 08:13, 10 June 2023 (UTC)
::Oh, that 2hrs makes my wild stab of 4-28hrs sound not so crazy, and yep, anyone serious about working with big primes would almost certainly have
