Finding Prime Numbers in a Given Range

A prime number is a natural number greater than 1 that has no positive divisors other than 1 and itself. When given a range, we can find all prime numbers within that range by checking each number individually to see if it is prime.

The process involves checking divisibility for each number starting from the lower bound up to the upper bound of the range. A number is prime if it has no divisors other than 1 and itself, meaning it cannot be evenly divided by any number other than 1 and itself.

Examples

Let’s explore some examples to see how we can find prime numbers within a specific range.

1. Find all prime numbers between 13 and 100.

Answer

First, we identify the given range:

Given:

  • m = 13
  • n = 100

We then check each number from 13 to 100 to determine if it is prime. The prime numbers in this range are found by checking divisibility for each number:

Prime Numbers:

  • 13: Prime
  • 17: Prime
  • 19: Prime
  • 23: Prime
  • 29: Prime
  • 31: Prime
  • 37: Prime
  • 41: Prime
  • 43: Prime
  • 47: Prime
  • 53: Prime
  • 59: Prime
  • 61: Prime
  • 67: Prime
  • 71: Prime
  • 73: Prime
  • 79: Prime
  • 83: Prime
  • 89: Prime
  • 97: Prime

These numbers have no divisors other than 1 and themselves, so they are prime.

Result:

∴ The prime numbers between 13 and 100 are: 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47, 53, 59, 61, 67, 71, 73, 79, 83, 89, 97.

2. Find prime numbers between 50 and 75.

Answer

We begin by identifying the range:

Given:

  • m = 50
  • n = 75

Next, we check each number from 50 to 75 to see if it is prime:

Prime Numbers:

  • 53: Prime
  • 59: Prime
  • 61: Prime
  • 67: Prime
  • 71: Prime
  • 73: Prime

These numbers are not divisible by any number other than 1 and themselves.

Result:

∴ The prime numbers between 50 and 75 are: 53, 59, 61, 67, 71, 73.

3. Determine the prime numbers from 20 to 50.

Answer

First, we identify the range:

Given:

  • m = 20
  • n = 50

We then check each number from 20 to 50 to find the prime numbers:

Prime Numbers:

  • 23: Prime
  • 29: Prime
  • 31: Prime
  • 37: Prime
  • 41: Prime
  • 43: Prime
  • 47: Prime

These numbers are identified as prime because they have no divisors other than 1 and themselves.

Result:

∴ The prime numbers between 20 and 50 are: 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47.

4. Find the prime numbers between 90 and 120.

Answer

We begin by identifying the range:

Given:

  • m = 90
  • n = 120

We then check each number from 90 to 120 to determine if it is prime:

Prime Numbers:

  • 97: Prime
  • 101: Prime
  • 103: Prime
  • 107: Prime
  • 109: Prime
  • 113: Prime

These numbers are prime because they are only divisible by 1 and themselves.

Result:

∴ The prime numbers between 90 and 120 are: 97, 101, 103, 107, 109, 113.
