Primality tests are algorithms or methods used to determine whether a given number is a prime number. A prime number is defined as a natural number greater than 1 that has no positive divisors other than 1 and itself. Primality testing is important in various fields, particularly in number theory and cryptography. There are several types of primality tests, which can be broadly categorized into deterministic and probabilistic tests.
