their isn't a formula or method for finding prime numbers. Prim numbers are just all the numbers that have only two factors not including zero. Like 2 is a Prime number because it can be multiplied by 1 and two two get it but not all even numbers are prime 2 is the only one another example is 5 because to get 5 you can only multiply it by 1 and 5

What is the name of Eratosthenes method of finding prime numbers?
It is called a sieve.
What is the name of Eratosthenes' method of finding composite numbers?
Eratosthenes' method of finding prime and composite number is called 'The Sieve of Eratosthene'.
Who ave the method of finding out prime numbers?
Nobody. That is because there is no pattern to prime numbers. There are various methods to find some classes of prime numbers but none that will find all of them.
Why is the prime number grid called the sieve?
One method for finding prime numbers is called the "Sieve of Eratosthenes" because it basically "sifts" through the numbers looking for numbers that are not not prime.
Who was the mathematician who suggested a simple method for finding the prime numbers up to a given natural number?
The method of sieving the multiples of prime numbers until only the prime numbers remain, while attributed to Eratosthenes, is originally thought to have been the work of Nicomachus.
What do you do when you are finding the prime factorization of a number and you are using the division method and there are no numbers to divide?
If there are no numbers to divide - not even 1 - then you have made a mistake.
Who developed a system for finding prime numbers?
There is no known system for finding prime numbers.
Who gave the method of finding out prime numbers?
No one has ever discovered the mathematical pattern for prime numbers and all that is known about them is that each prime number has only 2 factors which are itself and one.
When finding LCM do you have to keep going up using big numbers?
If you use the "list the multiples" method of finding the LCM, it is likely that the lists and the size of the numbers on the list will increase as the numbers you are comparing get larger. If you learn the "prime factorization" method, you can avoid that.
Whats the method for finding a composite number that contains exactly two factors other than itself and 1?
It is a semi-prime, which is a product of two prime numbers.
How was the Mathematician who found a very simple method for finding the prime and composite numbers in the third century BC?
Eratosthenes
How do you answer prime factorization?
by finding the prime numbers up to 100
