Write out the numbers 1 to 50 in 5 rows. Cross out 1. Start at 2 and cross out multiples of 2. That would eliminate all the rest of the even numbers. Go to the next uncrossed-out number (3) and cross out all of its multiples. Some of them will already be crossed out. You can stop by the time you get to eight. All of the uncrossed-out numbers are prime.

How do you know that any remaining number less than 100 must be a prime number?
If you mean, using the Sieve of Eratosthenes, you only need to check off prime numbers that are lower than the square root of the highest number - in this case, the square root of 100, which is 10 - so the prime numbers you need to check off are 2, 3, 5, 7.
Why is the square root the key to the Sieve of Eratosthenes and finding prime numbers?
Let p be the number we are testing for primality.The reason we don't have to check beyong sqrt(p) is if any number n larger than sqrt(p) divides p, then p/n, which is greater than n, also divides p.Consider the following example with 101.We check to see that 2, 3, 5, and 7 do not divide 101.11*11 = 121 implies 11*X = 101 only if X is smaller than 11. But we already checked the numbers smaller than 11.
Are negative numbers greater than less than or equal to positive numbers?

How many prime numbers are there less than 1000000000?
999,999,999 numbers less than 1,000,000,000.
What are the natural numbers less than 31?
The natural numbers are the counting numbers. Therefore, the natural numbers less than 31 are the numbers from 1 to 30.
What is the sieve of eratosthenes to find prime numbers less than 100?
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.
What is an iterative procedure which determines all the primes less than a given number?
the Sieve of Eratosthenes

What are numbers less than zero called if numbers less than one are decimals?
Numbers less than zero are "negative numbers".
Are negative numbers greater than less than or equal to positive numbers?
Less than.
Could you extend the sieve to find prime numbers greater than 100?
You can extend it indefinitely, depending on your patience!
How many numbers are less than 900?

What prime numbers less than 150?
There are 35 prime numbers less than 150.
What is less than 3.25?
Many numbers are less than 3.25. Less means that the numbers are smaller.
What are the natural numbers less than 31?
The natural numbers are the counting numbers. Therefore, the natural numbers less than 31 are the numbers from 1 to 30.
