Finding prime numbers in a text file using multithreading $(30\%-100$ marks$)$

You will be given multiple files containing a list of numbers. The amount and numbers themselves

will be random. You will create a C program which counts the number of prime numbers there are

within the file and output to a file the amount of prime numbers found, along with the prime

numbers themselves. The aim of this task is to use POSIX threads to parallelise the task to take

advantage of the multicore processor within your machine to speed up the task. The threads you

spawn within the program must compute an equal or close to an equal amount of computations to

make the program more efficient in relation to speed. For this section, as you will only be reading

one file and splitting it across many threads $($determined by argv$[1]),$ you should load in the file and

split the file into equal parts, then process each slice within your threads. This task also tests your

knowledge of dynamic memory allocation. NOTE $$ this program should work with any amount of

threads.

NOTE $$ Your program only needs to take in one file. We have given you multiple files as they contain

a different amount of numbers to test your program with.
