isprime??

[Syed Imran]

Hi all,

    Is there an isprime function for octave? If there is, how many
digits can it handle? I am looking at checking for 'primeness'(prolly
wrong term) of a few big numbers.

Also, I would be happy if you could give me some pointers for factoring
algorithms.

Regards,
Imran
