There is no simple pattern or rule for finding primes. The only certain way is to start with 2 and eliminate all multiples of 2. Then move to the next number on the list (3) and eliminate all numbers that are its multiples, and then the next number in the list. Stop after you have done the largest integer in the list which is less than or equal to the maximum number of your range.

In this case, sqrt(50) = 7.07 so stop after doing 7 and its multiples.
