Prime Numbers 1 to 1000000

A prime number is a natural number that has no positive divisors other than 1 and itself. Here are some key properties of prime numbers: 

• Every number greater than 1 is divisible by at least one prime number. 

• Two distinct prime numbers are always relatively prime to each other. 

• Every even positive integer greater than 2 can be expressed as the sum of two prime numbers (Goldbach's conjecture). 

• Every composite number can be uniquely factored into prime factors. 

• Except for 2, all prime numbers are odd; 2 is the only even prime number.

A prime number chart displays prime numbers in increasing order, helping to identify primes within a specified range. Such charts are useful for understanding the distribution of prime numbers and are applied in fields like cryptography and number theory.

The list of all prime numbers from 1 to 1,000,000 provides an extensive view of numbers in this range that can only be divided by 1 and the number itself. The prime numbers in this range include:

Prime numbers and odd numbers share the property of having no divisors other than 1 and themselves. All prime numbers except for 2 are odd, making the set of prime numbers a subset of odd numbers.

Prime numbers can be identified using a couple of methods:

By Divisibility Method:

Check divisibility by known small primes (e.g., 2, 3, 5, 7) to determine if a number is prime.

For example, to verify if 29 is prime: -

29 ÷ 2 = 14.5 (not divisible) 

29 ÷ 3 = 9.66 (not divisible) 

29 ÷ 5 = 5.8 (not divisible)

Since no divisors are found, 29 is a prime number.

By Prime Factorization Method:

Break down composite numbers into their prime factors. For example, the prime factorization of 100: -

100 ÷ 2 = 50 

50 ÷ 2 = 25 

25 ÷ 5 = 5 

5 ÷ 5 = 1

Thus, the prime factorization of 100 is: 100 = 2² × 5².

Rule 1: Divisibility Check: Prime numbers have no divisors other than 1 and themselves. Check divisibility by small primes. If divisible, the number is not prime.

Rule 2: Prime Factorization: Break down numbers into their prime factors to identify non-prime numbers. Rule 3: Sieve of Eratosthenes Method: List numbers up to 1,000,000, starting with 2. Mark multiples of each prime as non-prime. Continue with the next unmarked number. Unmarked numbers are prime.

Tips and Tricks for Prime Numbers 1 to 1000000

• Use shortcuts to remember small primes: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, etc. 

• Practice using the Sieve of Eratosthenes effectively. 

• Recognize that numbers like 4, 8, 9, 16, 25, 36 are not prime, avoiding unnecessary checks.

• Prime numbers: Natural numbers greater than 1 that are divisible only by 1 and themselves. Examples: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, etc.

• Composite numbers: Numbers with more than two factors. Example: 12 is divisible by 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 12.

• Odd numbers: Numbers not divisible by 2. All primes except 2 are odd. Example: 3, 5, 7, 9, etc.

• Divisibility: A concept to determine if one number can be divided by another without leaving a remainder.

• Sieve of Eratosthenes: An algorithm to find all prime numbers up to a specified integer.
