For some time it was thought that certain theorems, like the prime number theorem, could only be proved using higher mathematics.
Following this convention, modulo a prime number there are an equal number of residues and nonresidues.
For example, it's commonly accepted that the sun is made of gas, on one hand, and that 3 is a prime number, on the other.
A simple example is that almost all prime numbers are odd, which is based on the fact that all but one prime number are odd.
Equivalently, a prime number is a positive integer which has exactly two positive factors: 1 and itself.
A "prime number" is defined as a counting number that is divisible only by itself and 1.
Any number either is prime or is measured by some prime number.
In this example, the main document spawns a web worker to compute prime numbers, and progressively displays the most recently found prime number.
