The Sieve of Erastosthenes shows prime numbers.
The sieve of Eratosthenes is a simple, ancient algorithm for finding all prime numbers up to any given limit.
Erastothenes created a sieve that determines prime numbers.
As many as you want. It all depends how far you extend the method - up to 100, up to 1000, up to 10000, etc.
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.

The word "sieve" in this context is used figuratively with reference to the fact that a sieve does not hold all its contents. Think of sprinkling numbers at the top of the page. The composite numbers get caught, the prime numbers sift on down.
It is called a sieve.
A sieve.
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.
