Linearity of the Position of Prime Numbers. The Order of Prime and Composite Numbers

Abstract

In this paper it was shown that all prime numbers lie on 96 half-lines. At the same time, it was shown that if a given number does not lie on any of the above half-lines, then it is a composite number. A corresponding linear mathematical relationship was also derived and it was shown that all prime numbers must satisfy it. If a given number does not satisfy the above dependence, then it is a composite number. One linear equation and 8 numbers are enough to carry out all of the above-mentioned analyses. In addition, the astonishing cyclical nature of the occurrence of composite numbers in the set of natural numbers has been demonstrated.
