You could save about half the code by only listing one boolean value and having the other as a default return at the bottom.

Sometimes my genius is almost frightening.

If small numbers are much more frequent, it's better to return early. Really, you should gather statistics about the numbers the function is called with, and put the most frequent ones at the top.
