In Spain we would say this is the “old woman’s account”, but I think it explains visually what prime numbers are and why they follow the order they have.
Numbers are not purely abstract entities, any quantity implies distribution and distribution implies a space and a center. Numbers represent symmetries related to a real and specific central point. Each time that a new asymmetry appears we need to save it by creating a new metric reference based on our primary unity, our originary metric reference 1; the new metric reference will be a new prime number.

According to your algorithm 25 is a prime number
Many thanks Hektor, you’re right.
It seems and I didn’t realize before, it would imply t divide 11:3
Maybe it’s necessary to exclude the numbers that consist in a repetition of a prime number as 25 (5+5+5+5+5) as it happens with 21 (3+3+3+3+3+3+3).
But I’m not sure, I need to think about it better.
Thank you!
No problem! If you are interested in such prime numbers related algorithms you may want to check out this page: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primality_test
Great! I will take a look
Thank you again
