About this document
Primality via Successive Sums by jeanleonard.ramiakatrarivo is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The paper characterizes prime and composite natural numbers using the concept of the sum of successive natural numbers, establishing that an odd natural number N ≥ 3 is prime if and only if it can be expressed as N = a + (a + 1) with a = (N - 1) / 2. Composite numbers, on the other hand, can be represented in multiple ways as sums of consecutive natural numbers. The authors provide theoretical confirmations and examples to support their findings.
