@Dilipkumar(Cse).

That is an awesome way to remember all prime numbers between 1 & 100. There is a pattern too.

@Santhosh @Raji thanks for help.

But it only possible for some hundreds.

When we find 9999 is prime no or not,

It takes lot of time.

n*n>= p.
n*n>= 9999.
Where n must be 100.

So there are many prime no below 100.
To divided by no.

So it is not possible for all no.

Please post another method if you knew.

Simple meaning of prime no-"The number which is only divisible by itself and by 1, is called a prime number".
