In gmp: Multiple Precision Arithmetic

Next Prime Number
Description
Return the next prime number, say p, with p > n.
Usage
nextprime(n)
Arguments
n
Integer
Details
This function uses probabilistic algorithm to identify
primes. For practical purposes, it is adequate, the chance
of a composite passing will be extremely small.
Value
A (probably) prime number

isprime and its references and examples.
Examples
nextprime(14)
## still very fast:
(p <- nextprime(1e7))
## to be really sure { isprime() gives "probably prime" } :
stopifnot(identical(p, factorize(p)))
