I may have taken the long way with two iterative macros but we got it done!

I started with challenge 187 first, and it helped a lot with solving this one :)

As I was building this I knew it was wildly inefficient... but it works. Now I'm going to RUN to go read all the brilliant submissions to this challenge.

I set the limit arbitrarily to a maximum of 10,000. If a number is equal distance from two prime numbers, it will return both.

My solution for #79. Not fully dynamic as it adopts the 6n +/- 1 approach, but a little strapped for time. In reality could just generate a full list of divisors based on generating rows from 1 to n where n is the number in question, and counting the number of times the number/divisor is 1.
