Is it possible to create an expression that would cause an object to occur in prime numbers?

I really dunno, guy. But I think it is a pretty difficult thing, once to find if a number is a prime we have to divide it by the nearest prime and see something in the division (I dunno that well) and if the number is big it is a pain to find the nearest prime. I guess we must do some monster loop.
