1 is not a prime number it only has ONE factor. It goes.
2 is the only EVEN Prime Number. It stays
Ignore all other EVEN Numbers (99 in total)
Sieve Composite Numbers; Numbers with more than TWO factors.
Factors of 3 = 9 15 21 27 33 39 45 51 57 63 69 75 81 87 93 99 105
111 117 123 129 135 141 147 153 159 165 171 177 183 189 195
Factors of 5 = 25 35 55 65 85 95 115 125 145 155 175 185
Factors of 7 = 49 77 91 119 133 161
Factors of 11 = 121 143 187
Factors of 13 = 169
All of these numbers go (54 in total). 3 5 7 11 and 13 stay.
We have used THE SIEVE OF ERATOSTHENES to filter out 154 Numbers
This leaves us with 46 PRIME NUMBERS between 1 and 200


2 3 5 7 11 13 17 19 23 29 31 37 41 43

47 53 59 61 67 71 73 79 83 89 97 101 103 107

109 113 127 131 137 139 149 151 157 163 167 173 179 181

191 193 197 199

    This doesn't add up! does it?

    Never mind, I'll just pick six numbers for the lotto! (only joking!)

  3. Hi Stan, the harder they come...
    I try to keep things simple, but I love the way you continually push the barriers of the form towards infinity, numerically and philosophically. Thanks for taking the NaisaiKu.. Challenge again (and again) this week.

  5. The numbers immediately gave me anxiety when I looked at them. But I soldiered on. I think I may have even understood a few new things.

    Thanks, Stan.

  6. Thanks to:
    Wendy Naisa; The rules are so flexible that anything is possible.
    Pretty Me!!; The therapy helps a lot!
    Gautami Tripathy; I know how much people use prime numbers.
    Julia Smith; Numbers used to intimidate me - not so much now.

  10. Your second poem reminds me of high school, and having to code to find the prime numbers in the fastest possible way. We were meant to find the Sieve of Eratosthenes from first principles. How I would of liked to have had the internet back then, instead of a Commodore PET.

    But I did get in the end.

  11. Thanks to:
    Andy; What next I wonder.
    Spacedlaw; Maybe I should stick to just words.
    Beloved Dreamer; I just keep pushing to see how far NaisaiKu allows us to go.
    Sepiru Chris; Back at school, I was more arts than sciences, and I left before computers arrived - so I never got my head around maths until much later.

  12. This is cool. I never knew what was meant by prime number before. You explain it well. I like the naisaiku also.
