    The document is from Paragon Private and International School about prime and composite numbers from Discovery Mathematics Form 1. It provides definitions of prime and composite numbers, and uses the Sieve of Eratosthenes method to identify all prime numbers less than or equal to 100 by crossing out multiples of primes.

    1 – Prime numbers and composite numbers

    Name: _____________________________________________ Date: ________________

    A prime number is a whole number that has exactly 2 different factors, 1 and itself.

    Any non-prime number is called a composite number.

    0 and 1 are neither prime number nor composite number.

    Investigation : To find all the prime numbers less or equal to 100

    Sieve of Eratosthenes

    1. In this part, the numbers which are circled are prime numbers and the numbers which will be crossed
    out are not prime numbers.
    (a) Cross out 1.
    (b) Circle 2.
    Cross out all the other multiples of 2.
    (c) Circle the next number that has not been crossed out, i.e. 3.
    Cross out all the other multiples of 3.
    (d) Circle the next number that has not been crossed out, i.e. 5.
    Cross out all the other multiples of 5.
    (e) Repeat this process until all the numbers have either been circled or crossed out.
