The impossibility of exactly simplifying the floor quotient below the square root
From papers
Let be a prime number and let be an integer satisfying . Consider the quotient for . Impossibility conjecture. It is impossible to find any exact simplification for
when . The claim concerns the distribution of first-order focals in the geometric view of the sieve of Eratosthenes; no resolution or supporting result is supplied in the excerpt.
