SOLUTIONS 1. List all of the factors of each of the following numbers
... A factor is a whole number that divides another whole number without a remainder. A prime number is a whole number whose only two factors are one and itself. A composite number is a whole number that has more than two factors. ...

MODIFIED MERSENNE NUMBERS AND PRIMES Several thousand
... That is , if one takes two to a prime power p and subtracts one from the result , one will generate a higher prime. Mersenne thought this might be true for all prime powers of two, but his conjecture was proven wrong as already shown by 211-1=2047=23·89. The prime powers p=13,17, and 19 work again, ...

Sieve of Eratosthenes
In mathematics, the sieve of Eratosthenes (Ancient Greek: κόσκινον Ἐρατοσθένους, kóskinon Eratosthénous), one of a number of prime number sieves, is a simple, ancient algorithm for finding all prime numbers up to any given limit. It does so by iteratively marking as composite (i.e., not prime) the multiples of each prime, starting with the multiples of 2.The multiples of a given prime are generated as a sequence of numbers starting from that prime, with constant difference between them that is equal to that prime. This is the sieve's key distinction from using trial division to sequentially test each candidate number for divisibility by each prime.The sieve of Eratosthenes is one of the most efficient ways to find all of the smaller primes. It is named after Eratosthenes of Cyrene, a Greek mathematician; although none of his works have survived, the sieve was described and attributed to Eratosthenes in the Introduction to Arithmetic by Nicomachus.The sieve may be used to find primes in arithmetic progressions.
