What `isprime` algorithm requires values larger than the queried number (assuming non-negative values)?

My brain somehow converted it to a factorial program. Not sure how that happened.

Even for factorial, the parameter type can be anything, the function body can convert it to bigint if needed.

julia> function factorial(n::Integer)
           return prod(1:convert(BigInt,n))
       end
factorial (generic function with 1 method)

julia> factorial(convert(Int32,100))
