Thanks for the advice, but being an mathematician myself an knowing my
audience, this should be no problem (I could leave further
consideration as an exercise :-) ). But I have to admit that my number
theory background is almost zero.

Luckily, my small function is not obliged to solve any real world
problems considering prime numers.
