@rahul, it is methodical, as hinted to in the last paragraph.

@GerryMyerson, sorry, no. But the OP did say "If not the whole solution".

comment What would be the immediate implications of a formula for prime numbers?
There is a polynomial-time algorithm for deciding the primality of every number. See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AKS_primality_test.

comment question on subgroups of prime order
You could try using a better title.

comment $g \colon [0,1] \to [0,1]$ be a continuous map and consider the iteration $x_{n+1}=g(x_n)$.
The question is not about the existence of a fixed point, which as you say is obvious, but whether the iteration of $g$ gets to it, I guess from any starting point. Perhaps you mean Banach's fixed-point theorem.

comment What is $\frac{(an)!}{n!}$?
This argument is only correct if you assume that "in terms of" means "multiplicatively". In principle, there might be an expression involving addition and then other primes might show up.

comment A strange characterisation of cyclic groups
This is usually part of the proof that any finite subgroup of the multiplicative group of a field is cyclic, but it stands on its own, though you may argue it's not too natural. See math.stackexchange.com/a/59911/589.

comment “The whole is greater than the sum of its parts” as a mathematical expression
In the context of measure theory, if you have a countable collection of pairwise disjoint parts that cover the whole, then the whole is exactly equal to the sum of its parts.
