Eratosthenes' method of finding prime and composite number is called 'The Sieve of Eratosthene'.
his name isnt sieve but, i know a website all about his life. theres one on eratosthenes on wikipedia. so there, by the way, eratosthenes is the wierdest name ever!!!!!!!!!
prime numbers are invented by srinivasan ramanujan, an Indian mathematician.
To find prime numbers less than 100, the sieve of eratosthenes filters out 1 and all multiples of 2, 3, 5, and 7. All remaining numbers less than 100 are primes.
The sieve of Sundaram sieves out the composite numbers just as sieve of Eratosthenes does, but even numbers are not considered; the work of "crossing out" the multiples of 2 is done by the final double-and-increment step.
The sieve of Eratosthenes was discovered in 223 BC.
It is called a sieve.
composite numbers
Eratosthenes' method of finding prime and composite number is called 'The Sieve of Eratosthene'.
The Sieve of Eratosthenes filters numbers, letting the composites fall through while the primes remain.
Eratosthenes, a greek philosopher, did, hence the name.

About 276 BC Eratosthenes was a Greek mathematician who is credited with a simple method of making a list of as many primes as you wish. His method is known as the Sieve of Eratosthenes.
Eratosthenes
The Sieve did not invent prime numbers. It was used to find them.
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.
