If you don't know the math regarding prime numbers, you cannot
succeed on such an endeavor no matter what programming language
you use.

Thus, I think this is not really an Ada question, and something
more appropriate to some math discussion forum.

When you resolve your math question, any introductory Ada book
should show you how basics like addition, subtraction, etc. work.
