Anton Felkel

Anton Felkel (26 April 1740, Kamenz, Silesia – c. 1800, possibly in Lisbon, Portugal) was an Austrian mathematician who worked on the determination of prime numbers.

In 1776 and 1777, Felkel published a table giving complete decompositions of all integers not divisible by 2, 3, and 5, from 1 to 408,000.

Felkel had planned to extend his table to 10 million.

A reconstruction of his table is found on the LOCOMAT site.
