It certainly won't be once you get to large enough primes! > Therefore you should probably use the integer division operator: "//" And the reminder (or modulo) operator %, together with the combination function divmod(a, b) which returns (a//b, a%b). The advantage of divmod is that it is faster than calling a//b followed by a%b. -- Steven D'Aprano _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
