Primes
(a) Prove there are infinitely many primes
(b) Using the Sieve of Eratosthenes, what is the worst case complexity for finding the prime factors of
a number of magnitude N.
(c) Consider the previous question for a number written in binary where b bits are required to encode
a number of magnitude N, so the length of the number is 2°, what is the complexity in terms of b.
