A primality test is an algorithm for determining whether an input number is prime, but I'm willing to bet that a lot of mathematicians type "Prime number calculator" into their Web Browsers.

What properties could be used to help determine whether the sample is really gold?
melting point
How do x-rays work to determine if a bone is broken?
X-Rays don't determine whether a bone is broken. They just make fuzzy shadow pictures of what is under your skin. Unless its a really obvious fracture, it takes the trained eye of a radiologist looking at the pictures to determine whether the bone is broken or not.
What was Pythagoras' favorite number?
i dont think mathematicians had favorite numbers but i guess since he realized the importance of ten, i think ten would be one good one he really liked. And possible 0, if they discovered it yet! ;]
Whats the best way to determine whether a motor really is a 383 or just another 350?
check the casting number on the crank
How do you use natural numbers?
Natural numbers are also known as counting numbers. We assign to each object a natural number when we count. For example is you have 5 children and you count them, you are really forming what mathematicians call a one to one correspondence between the natural numbers 1 to 5 and the 5 kids.So the short answer is we use them to count. But in fact they are used for many more things.
How can you get the cell phone numbers of some basketball players?
A really good place to find peoples phone numbers is www.switchboard.com. It has the phone numbers and addresses of a lot of people. I am not sure whether they have the phone numbers of basketball players, but I think that they do.
How are fractals created?
It really depends on the fractal, and there are many possible ways to define them. As an example, for the Mandelbrot set, a number of calculations involving complex numbers are done for each point in the complex plane, to determine whether a point is part of the set or not. However, other definitions are possible as well.
What advance did scientists and mathematicians make?
I believe it was because of the hyroglyphics that were made long ago...sorry i dont really know
Why are imaginary numbers used in electronic systems control systems and physics?
Mathematics is beautiful in itself. Back in the 1700s and later, mathematicians studied "imaginary" numbers (numbers that involve a factor of the square root of -1) knowing that they didn't describe anything "real", the way "real numbers" do. But when beauty can be melded to practicality, things get REALLY interesting. It turns out that you can use imaginary numbers and "complex numbers" (which have a "real" component and an "imaginary" component) to describe the way radiation and electromagnetic fields behave.
How many numbers are there between 1 and 9?
It depends on whether you include 1 and 9 or if you really mean just between. It also depends on whether you mean just whole numbers.There are seven numbers between 1 and 9:twothreefourfivesixseveneightThere are nine, if you mean to include one and nine.
Does the vapor pressure depend on the surrouding pressure?
No. It depends on the temperature. The only time you will really consider Pext is when you want to determine whether the substance will boil, which is when Pext = Pvap.
If a guy really wants to see you does the mean he likes you?
Often, if a boy really wants to see you, especially one-on-one time, then yes, he likes you. Whether it's more than just friends or not can be harder to determine.
