Primes Primes represents the domain of prime numbers, as in x Primes. x Primes evaluates only if x is a numeric quantity. Simplify[ expr Primes] can be used to try to determine whether an expression corresponds to a prime number. The domain of primes is taken to be a subset of the domain of integers. PrimeQ[ expr ] returns False unless expr explicitly has head Integer. Primes is output in TraditionalForm as . See The Mathematica Book on the web:Section 1.4.6 and Section 3.3.10.
