Question 1.
How does the Sieve of Eratosthenes work ?
Solution:
The following example illustrates how the Sieve of Eratosthenes, can be used to find all the prime numbers that are less than 100. .
Step 1: Write the numbers from 1. to 100 in ten rows as shown below.
Step 2: Cross out 1 as 1 is neither a prime nor a composite number.
Step 3: Circle 2 and cross out all the multiples of 2. (2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, ………… )
Step 4: Circle 3 and cross out all the multiples of 3. (3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18,………….)
Step 5: Circle 5 and cross out all the multiples of 5. (5, 10. 15, 20, 25……………… )
Step 6: Circle 7 and cross out all multiples of 7. (7, 14, 21. 28, 35, ………………….. )
Circle all the numbers that are not crossed out and they are the required prime numbers less than 100.
First arrange the numbers ffom 1 to 100 in a table as shown above.
Enter 6 numbers in each row until the last number 100 is reached.
First we select a number and we strike off all the multiples of it.
Start with 2 which is greater than 1.
Round off number 2 and strike off entire column until the end.
Similarly strike off 4th column and 6th column as they are divisible by 2.
Now round off next number 3 and strike off entire column until end.
The number 4 is already gone.
Now round off next number 5 and strike off numbers in inclined fashion as shown in the figure (they are all divisible by 5). When striking off ends in some row, start again striking off with number in another end which is divisible by 5. New striking off line should be parallel to previous strike off line as. shown in the figure.
The number 6 is already gone.
Now round off number 7 and strike off numbers as we did in case of number 5.
8,9,10 are also gone. .
Stop at this point.
Count all remaining numbers. Answer will be 25.
Prime numbers :
There are 25 prime numbers less than 100.
These are:
What if we go above 100 ? Around 400 BC the Greek mathematician. Euclid, proved that there are infinitely many prime numbers.
Co-primes: Two numbers are said to be co-prime if they have no factors in common. Example: (2, 9), (25, 28)
Any two consecutive numbers always form a pair of co-prime numbers.
Example:
Co-prime numbers are also called relatively prime number to one another.
Example: 3, 5, 8, 47 are relatively prime to one another/co-prime to each other.
Twin primes: Two prime numbers are said to be twin primes, if they differ by 2.
Example: (3, 5), (5, 7), (11, 13), …etc.
Prime factorization: The process of expressing the given number as the product of prime numbers is called prime factorization.
Example: Prime factorization of 24 is
24 = 2 x 12
= 2 x 2 x 6
= 2 x 2 x 2 x 3, this way is unique.
Every number can be expressed as product of primes in a unique manner. We can factorize a given number in to product of primes in two methods. They are
a) Division method
b) Factor tree method
Common factors: The set of all factors which divides all the given numbers are called their common factors.
Example: Common factors to 24, 36 & 48 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 & 12
Factors of 24 = 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12 & 24
Factors of 36 = 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18 & 36
Factors of 48 = 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24 & 48
Common factors to 24, 36 & 48 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 & 12
We can see that among their common factors 12 is the highest common factor. It is called H.C.F. of the given numbers. So H.C.F. of 24, 36 & 48 is 12.
H.C.F./G.C.D : The highest common factor or the greatest common divisor of given numbers is the greatest of their common factors.
H.C.F. of given two or more numbers can be found in two ways.
a) By prime factorization
b) By continued division
H.C.F. of any two consecutive numbers is always 1.
H.C.F. of relatively prime/co-prime numbers is always 1.
H.C.F. of any two consecutive even numbers is always 2.
H.C.F. of any two consecutive odd numbers is always 1.
Common multiples:
Multiples of 8: 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48,
Multiples of 12: 12, 24, 36, 48, … .
Multiples.common to 8 & 12: 24, 48; 72, 96, …
Least among the common multiple is 24. This is called L.C.M. of 8 & 12. The number of common multiples of given two or more numbers is infinite, as such greatest common multiple cannot be determined.
L.C.M.: The least common multiple of two or more numbers is the smallest natural number among their common multiples.
L.C.M. of given numbers can be found by the
a) Method of prime factorization.
b) Division method.
L.C.M. of any two consecutive numbers is always equal to their product.
L.C.M. of 8 &9 is 8 x 9 = 72
L.C.M. of co-prime numbers is always equal to their product.
L.C.M. of 8 & 15 is 8 x 15 = 120
Relation between the L.C.M. & H.C.F:
For a given two numbers Nj & N2 , the product of the numbers is equal to the product of their L.C.M.(L) & H.C.F.(H)
N1 x N2 = L x H
