def Nat.decidablePrime1 (p : ℕ) : Decidable (Nat.Prime p)

This instance is slower than the instance decidablePrime defined below, but has the advantage that it works in the kernel for small values.

If you need to prove that a particular number is prime, in any case you should not use by decide, but rather by norm_num, which is much faster.

theorem Nat.minFac_lemma (n k : ℕ) (h : ¬n < k * k) : n.sqrt - k < n.sqrt + 2 - k

def Nat.minFacAux (n : ℕ) : ℕ → ℕ

If n < k * k, then minFacAux n k = n, if k | n, then minFacAux n k = k. Otherwise, minFacAux n k = minFacAux n (k+2) using well-founded recursion. If n is odd and 1 < n, then minFacAux n 3 is the smallest prime factor of n.

By default this well-founded recursion would be irreducible. This prevents use decide to resolve Nat.prime n for small values of n, so we mark this as @[semireducible].

In future, we may want to remove this annotation and instead use norm_num instead of decide in these situations.

• n.minFacAux x = if n < x * x then n else if x ∣ n then x else n.minFacAux (x + 2)
