Sieve of Eratosthenes - Sieve of Eratosthenes
A method of finding prime numbers discovered by Eratosthenes. Arrange the natural numbers 1, 2, 3, …, then eliminate 1, leave the prime number 2 and eliminate its multiples 4, 6, 8, …, leave the next prime number 3 and eliminate its multiples 9, 15, …. When you have eliminated the multiples of prime number p in this way, if the next prime number after p is q, then all numbers remaining that are smaller than are prime numbers.
