  Mathematical references for the curious as to why we need only
  the 12 smallest primes for testing all 64-bit numbers:
  (1) https://oeis.org/A014233
      Comment: a(12) > 2^64.  Hence the primality of numbers < 2^64 can be
      determined by asserting strong pseudoprimality to all prime bases <= 37
      (=prime(12)). Testing to prime bases <=31 does not suffice,
      as a(11) < 2^64 and a(11) is a strong pseudoprime
      to all prime bases <= 31 (=prime(11)). - Joerg Arndt, Jul 04 2012

      Strong Pseudoprimes to Twelve Prime Bases
      Jonathan P. Sorenson, Jonathan Webster
 
  In addition, a source listed here: https://miller-rabin.appspot.com/
  reports that all 64-bit numbers can be covered with only 7 divisors,
  namely 2, 325, 9375, 28178, 450775, 9780504, and 1795265022.
  There was no peer-reviewed article to back it up though,
  so this code uses the 12 primes <= 37.
