Abstract: Prime numbers, which are natural numbers larger than one that have no divisors other than themselves, have long piqued the interest of mathematicians and programmers alike. This article describes a Java software that finds and displays prime integers inside a user-defined interval. The software achieves simplicity and efficiency by utilizing the modulus operator and streamlining the prime-checking method to investigate divisibility only up to a number's square root. This strategy considerably decreases temporal complexity, allowing the software to handle greater periods easily. The essay also discusses the practical uses of prime numbers in fields such as cryptography, hashing algorithms, and digital signatures, emphasizing the significance of knowing prime number identification in both theoretical and applied settings.
