Click on a number to have all its multiples marked by changing the field color to red and crossing them  out.  Numbers that you have clicked appear on green background.  When there are no white fields left, the numbers in green fields are prime numbers.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nIt is most efficient to first click 2. After all multiples of one number have been marked click on the next number in a white field. To illustrate the sieving better multiples are marked with a delay and different shades of red are used for multiples of different numbers.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nAuto Sieve goes through the complete sieving process.
