Prime numbers in Ancient Computer?

I saw that program. It was cool.
However, 235 is not a prime number because it can be divided by 5.

Here is a working model of the Antikythera as it is called.

The engineering for that is impressive. It makes you wonder why the same technology was not applied by the Greeks to manufacturing.

The things those guys invented are easily comparable to the inventors of today’s computers and…everything. I mean, they started with nothing but their curiosity. Mind boggling, really.

@Dutchess_III, oops! You are right, 225 Lunar months are not prime. I should have used 223, but couldn’t recall what this number was used for. Thanks for catching my mistake.

Ah! Well, you’re welcome :).

@LostInParadise – the same tech wasn’t applied for industrial manufacturing because it was milled by hand!

Yes, but one machine could have been powered for practical purposes. In Hellenic times, Hero of Alexandria described the use of steam power, which was only used for entertainment purposes.

@LostInParadise – I meant that the cogs and gears of the device were shaped by hand – the guy who crafted the internals of the thing was the 1% of the 1% of master craftsmen!
