A Fundamental Study of Composite Numbers as a Different Perspective on Problems Related to Prime Numbers

Abstract

Prime number-related issues can be viewed from drastically different perspectives by examining the close connections between prime numbers and composite numbers. We think that multiple perspectives are the pillars on the path to solutions so we have created this study. As a result of the study, we proposed two new formulas by presenting three theorems and one proof for each theorem, a total of three proofs. We proved that the formula p • n + p returns a composite number in the first of the theorems, which is the preliminary theorem. Our first theorem except the preliminary theorem is that the formula p • n + p returns all composite numbers, and we proved that too. Finally, we created Theorem II using Theorem I to use in our other work and proved that the formula 2 • n • p + p returns all odd composite numbers, which is Theorem II. Afterward, we presented the similarities of the 2 • n • p + p formula we put forth with another known formula.
