The Sieve of Eratosthenes is an ancient algorithm used to identify all prime numbers up to a specified integer. It operates by iteratively marking the multiples of each Prime number starting from 2, thereby eliminating non-prime numbers from the list. The remaining unmarked numbers are the prime numbers. This efficient method allows for the quick generation of primes and serves as a foundational concept in number theory.
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.
