For example the number 32 with everything plugged in:
You start with 1 and that evaluates to an integer: 3 so you know that 32=(5-1)*(5+3) or 4*8. We might have had to try 2 and 3 but didn't have to in this case.
But if you try 31...
This is never a natural number for n = {1...3} so 31 must be prime.
