Sieve of Eratosthenes

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles In mathematics, the sieve of Eratosthenes (Greek: κόσκινον Ἐρατοσθένους), one of a number of prime number sieves, is a simple, ancient algorithm for finding all prime numbers up to a specified integer. It is one of the most efficient ways to find all of the smaller primes (below 10 million or so). The algorithm is named after Eratosthenes of Cyrene, an ancient Greek mathematician; although none of his works have survived, the sieve was described and attributed to Eratosthenes in the Introduction to Arithmetic by Nicomachus.
