2. Sieve of Eratosthenes - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sieve_of_Eratosthenes

   A prime number is a natural number that has exactly two distinct natural number divisors: the number 1 and itself. To find all the prime numbers less than or equal to a given integer n by Eratosthenes' method: Create a list of consecutive integers from 2 through n: (2, 3, 4, ..., n). Initially, let p equal 2, the smallest prime number.

3. Prime number - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prime_number

   A prime number (or a prime) is a natural number greater than 1 that is not a product of two smaller natural numbers. A natural number greater than 1 that is not prime is called a composite number. For example, 5 is prime because the only ways of writing it as a product, 1 × 5 or 5 × 1, involve 5 itself. However, 4 is composite because it is a ...

4. Generation of primes - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generation_of_primes

   Generation of primes. In computational number theory, a variety of algorithms make it possible to generate prime numbers efficiently. These are used in various applications, for example hashing, public-key cryptography, and search of prime factors in large numbers. For relatively small numbers, it is possible to just apply trial division to ...

5. Sieve of Atkin - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sieve_of_Atkin

   The following is pseudocode which combines Atkin's algorithms 3.1, 3.2, and 3.3 [1] by using a combined set "s" of all the numbers modulo 60 excluding those which are multiples of the prime numbers 2, 3, and 5, as per the algorithms, for a straightforward version of the algorithm that supports optional bit packing of the wheel; although not specifically mentioned in the referenced paper, this ...

6. Sieve of Pritchard - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sieve_of_Pritchard

   In mathematics, the sieve of Pritchard is an algorithm for finding all prime numbers up to a specified bound. Like the ancient sieve of Eratosthenes, it has a simple conceptual basis in number theory. [1] It is especially suited to quick hand computation for small bounds. Whereas the sieve of Eratosthenes marks off each non-prime for each of ...

7. Ulam spiral - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ulam_spiral

   Ulam spiral of size 201×201. Black dots represent prime numbers. Diagonal, vertical, and horizontal lines with a high density of prime numbers are clearly visible. For comparison, a spiral with random odd numbers colored black (at the same density of primes in a 200x200 spiral). The Ulam spiral or prime spiral is a graphical depiction of the ...
