Best Answer

To keep it simple:

Write a main loop that goes through all the numbers, starting with 2, and incrementing one at a time. Determine whether each number is a Prime number. If it is, increment a counter.

To determine whether each number is a prime number, either use an inner loop, or a separate function. Test divisibility of the number "n" by every number from 2 to n-1. If you find a factor, then it is not a prime number.

Note that you can test divisibility by using the "%" operator. For example:

if (number % factor == 0)

// number is divisible by factor

else

// it isn't

How do you find prime number?

Prime numbers are the numbers that can only be divided by 1 and them selves. As in 13 if you were to factor it using only whole numbers you would see that its factors are only 1 and 13. There for it is prime. While 12 you see that the factors are 1,2,3,4,6,12 meaning that it is not prime.You test several numbers, to see whether they are prime numbers, until you find a prime number.

What is the prime numbers for 374?

To find the prime factors of any number then divide the number by prime numbers of increasing value. When a prime number wholly divides the original number repeat the process with the same prime number but each time with the new quotient until complete division does not occur. Repeat with a prime number of higher value until the final quotient is 1. Using this process gives the prime factors of 374 as 2, 11 and 17.
