Add special cases for primes 2, 3, 5 and 7. Proceed to Miller-Rabin and BPSW primality tests to get the correct primality result for other small primes that are factors in the prime products, which are used in the initial phase of primality testing. Previously small prime numbers up to 14951 were incorrectly reported as composite. As this primality test has never been used for so small numbers, there were no issues in its usage.
