It is a simple Algorithm to find prime numbers up to a given number 'N' discovered by an Indian Student Mathematician S.P. Sundaram. More details can be found at

The Sieve of Eratosthenes filters numbers, letting the composites fall through while the primes remain.

STRAIN - separate solid from liquid to pour food, etc. through something with very small holes in it, for example a SIEVE, in order to separate the solid part from the liquid part. SIFT to remove something that you do not want from a substance by putting it through a SIEVE: E.g.: Put the flour through a sieve to sift out the lumps. SIEVE a tool for separating solids from liquids or larger solids from smaller solids, made of a wire or plastic net attached to a ring.
It was around 200 BC.

A sieve is a very fine screen used to filter, or sieve, solids out of liquids.
A wet sieve analysis involves using water to wash finer particles through the sieve, while a dry sieve analysis does not involve any added moisture and relies on natural particle movement through the sieve openings. Wet sieve analysis is typically used for cohesive materials, while dry sieve analysis is more commonly used for non-cohesive materials.

The word sieve is a noun as well as a verb (sieve, sieves, sieving, sieved); example uses: Noun: The sieve to strain the spaghetti is in that cupboard. Verb: I don't sieve the mashed potatoes, I like them a bit lumpy.
Cells containing sieve plates are called sieve tube members, a component of the phloem, which carries sugars produced in the leaves to various parts of the plant. They are characteristic of angiosperms (flowering plants) while gymnosperms (cone-bearing plants) have only sieve cells. Sieve cells and sieve tube members are collectively referred to as sieve elements.
Sieve plates are cross walls separating the cells in the phloem and have lots of minute pores. These cross-walls look like a sieve and so are called sieve plates. The holes in the sieve plates allows rapid flow of manufactured food substances through the sieve tubes.
