The Sieve of Eratosthenes is an efficient algorithm used to find all prime numbers up to a specified integer ( n ). It works by iteratively marking the multiples of each Prime number starting from 2, the first prime. The algorithm begins with a list of integers from 2 to ( n ) and eliminates the multiples of each prime, leaving only the primes. After processing all numbers up to ( \sqrt{n} ), the remaining unmarked numbers in the list are the prime numbers.
The Sieve of Eratosthenes filters numbers, letting the composites fall through while the primes remain.
It was around 200 BC.

A sieve.
composite numbers
The sieve of Eratosthenes was discovered in 223 BC.

Eratosthenes, a greek philosopher, did, hence the name.
his name isnt sieve but, i know a website all about his life. theres one on eratosthenes on wikipedia. so there, by the way, eratosthenes is the wierdest name ever!!!!!!!!!
About 276 BC Eratosthenes was a Greek mathematician who is credited with a simple method of making a list of as many primes as you wish. His method is known as the Sieve of Eratosthenes.

The Sieve did not invent prime numbers. It was used to find them.

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.
