An Extension to Fermat's Factorisation and a simple primality test

General Mathematics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

An extension to the factorisation principle as suggested by Fermat is presented.We start from a symmetry of natural numbers and obtain the factorisation principle therefrom.Later it is extended further to test the primality of any natural number and finally used to factorise any given number.
