Prime Numbers – N4

In this mini-lecture, we discuss Topic N4 by exploring prime numbers. In particular, we consider: (i) the list of prime numbers and their properties; (ii) how to determine if a large number is divisible by the numbers 2 through 11; and (iii) how to use the Sieve of Eratosthenes, and ancient Greek algorithm, to determine the list of prime numbers.
