Prime numbers are positive, non-zero numbers that have exactly two factors. No more, no less. So testing negative numbers doesn't really make any sense.

Negative numbers N always have at least four factors: N*1=N and abs(N)*-1=N. Therefore, even if "natural number" weren't in the definition of a prime (which it is), no negative number would ever qualify. Therefore, the next-largest prime number to any negative number is always 2.

It seems gmp_nextprime on negative numbers always returns 2.
