Python program to print prime numbers from 1 to n

Prime number

A prime number is an integer greater than 1 whose only factors are 1 and itself. A factor is an integer that can be divided evenly into another number.

Logic

To print all the prime numbers up to N, we start one loop from 2 to N and then inside the loop we check current number or “num” is prime or not. To check if it is prime or not we again need one nested loop. It is not an efficient way to check prime number but it is simpler to understand the basic of looping in Python.

Program

# Take input from user
upto = int(input("Find prime numbers upto : "))

print("\nAll prime numbers upto", upto, "are : ")

for num in range(2, upto + 1):

    i = 2

    for i in range(2, num):
        if(num % i == 0):
            i = num
            break;

    # If the number is prime then print it.
    if(i != num):
        print(num, end=" ")

Output

Find prime numbers upto : 100
All prime numbers upto 100 are :
3 5 7 11 13 17 19 23 29 31 37 41 43 47 53 59 61 67 71 73 79 83 89 97

    Given a number N, the task is to print the prime numbers from 1 to N.
    Examples: 

    Input: N = 10
    Output: 2, 3, 5, 7
    
    Input: N = 5
    Output: 2, 3, 5 

    Algorithm:  

    • First, take the number N as input.
    • Then use a for loop to iterate the numbers from 1 to N
    • Then check for each number to be a prime number. If it is a prime number, print it.

    Approach 1:  Now, according to formal definition, a number ‘n’ is prime if it is not divisible by any number other than 1 and n. In other words a number is prime if it is not divisible by any number from 2 to n-1.

    Below is the implementation of the above approach:  

    C++

    #include

    using namespace std;

    bool isPrime(int n)

    {

        if (n == 1 || n == 0)

            return false;

        for (int i = 2; i < n; i++) {

            if (n % i == 0)

                return false;

        }

        return true;

    }

    int main()

    {

        int N = 100;

        for (int i = 1; i <= N; i++) {

            if (isPrime(i))

                cout << i << " ";

        }

        return 0;

    }

    C

    #include

    #include

    bool isPrime(int n)

    {

        if (n == 1 || n == 0)

            return false;

        for (int i = 2; i < n; i++) {

            if (n % i == 0)

                return false;

        }

        return true;

    }

    int main()

    {

        int N = 100;

        for (int i = 1; i <= N; i++) {

            if (isPrime(i))

                printf("%d ", i);

        }

        return 0;

    }

    Java

    class GFG 

    {

         static boolean isPrime(int n){

              if(n==1||n==0)return false;

              for(int i=2; i

                    if(n%i==0)return false;

              }

              return true;

        }

        public static void main (String[] args) 

        

            int N = 100

            for(int i=1; i<=N; i++){

                if(isPrime(i)) {

                    System.out.print(i + " ");

                }

            }

        }

    }

    Python3

    def isPrime(n):

      if(n==1 or n==0):

        return False

      for i in range(2,n):

        if(n%i==0):

          return False

      return True

    N = 100;

    for i in range(1,N+1):

      if(isPrime(i)):

        print(i,end=" ")

    C#

    using System;

    class GFG 

    {

         static bool isPrime(int n){

            if(n==1||n==0) return false;

            for(int i=2; i

                if(n%i==0) return false;

            }

          return true;

        }

        public static void Main (String[] args) 

        

            int N = 100; 

            for(int i=1; i<=N; i++) {

                if(isPrime(i)) {

                  Console.Write(i + " "); 

                }

            }

        }

    }

    Javascript

    Output

    2 3 5 7 11 13 17 19 23 29 31 37 41 43 47 53 59 61 67 71 73 79 83 89 97 

    Time Complexity: O(N^2), 

    Auxiliary Space: O(1)

    Approach 2:  For checking if a number is prime or not do we really need to iterate through all the number from 2 to n-1? We already know that a number ‘n’ cannot be divided by any number greater than ‘n/2’. So, according to this logic we only need to iterate through 2 to n/2 since number greater than n/2 cannot divide n.

    C++

    #include

    using namespace std;

    bool isPrime(int n){

        if(n==1||n==0) return false;

        for(int i=2; i<=n/2; i++) {

              if(n%i==0) return false;

        }

        return true;

    }

    int main()

    {

        int N = 100;

          for(int i=1; i<=N; i++){

            if(isPrime(i)) {

              cout << i << " ";

            }

        }

        return 0;

    }

    Java

    class GFG 

    {

         static boolean isPrime(int n){

              if(n==1||n==0) return false;

            for(int i=2; i<=n/2; i++){

                if(n%i==0)return false;

            }

            return true;

        }

        public static void main (String[] args) 

        

            int N = 100

            for(int i=1; i<=N; i++){

                if(isPrime(i)) {

                  System.out.print(i + " ");

                }

            }

        }

    }

    Python3

    def isPrime(n):

      if(n==1 or n==0):

        return False

      for i in range(2,(n//2)+1):

        if(n%i==0):

          return False

      return True

    N = 100;

    for i in range(1,N+1):

      if(isPrime(i)):

        print(i,end=" ")

    C#

    using System;

    class GFG 

    {

     static bool isPrime(int n){

         if(n==1||n==0)return false;

          for(int i=2; i<=n/2; i++){

            if(n%i==0)return false;

          }

      return true;

    }

    public static void Main (String[] args) 

        int N = 100; 

          for(int i=1; i<=N; i++){

          if(isPrime(i)) {

            Console.Write(i + " "); 

          }

        }

    }

    }

    Javascript

    Output

    2 3 5 7 11 13 17 19 23 29 31 37 41 43 47 53 59 61 67 71 73 79 83 89 97 

    Time Complexity: O(N2), 

    Auxiliary Space: O(1),since no extra space has been taken.

    Approach 3: If a number ‘n’ is not divided by any number less than or equals to the square root of n then, it will not be divided by any other number greater than the square root of n. So, we only need to check up to the square root of n.

    C++

    #include

    using namespace std;

    bool isPrime(int n){

      if(n==1||n==0)return false;

      for(int i=2; i*i<=n; i++){

        if(n%i==0)return false;

      }

      return true;

    }

    int main()

    {

        int N = 100;

          for(int i=1; i<=N; i++){

          if(isPrime(i)) {

            cout << i << " ";

          }

        }

        return 0;

    }

    Java

    class GFG 

    {

     static boolean isPrime(int n){

      if(n==1||n==0)return false;

      for(int i=2; i*i<=n; i++){

        if(n%i==0)return false;

      }

      return true;

    }

    public static void main (String[] args) 

        int N = 100

          for(int i=1; i<=N; i++){

          if(isPrime(i)) {

            System.out.print(i + " ");

          }

        }

    }

    }

    Python3

    def isPrime(n):

      if(n==1 or n==0):

        return False

      for i in range(2,int(n**(1/2))+1):

        if(n%i==0):

          return False

      return True

    N = 100;

    for i in range(1,N+1):

      if(isPrime(i)):

        print(i,end=" ")

    C#

    using System;

    class GFG 

    {

     static bool isPrime(int n){

         if(n==1||n==0)return false;

          for(int i=2; i*i<=n; i++){

            if(n%i==0)return false;

          }

      return true;

    }

    public static void Main (String[] args) 

        int N = 100; 

          for(int i=1; i<=N; i++){

          if(isPrime(i)) {

            Console.Write(i + " "); 

          }

        }

    }

    }

    Javascript

    Output

    2 3 5 7 11 13 17 19 23 29 31 37 41 43 47 53 59 61 67 71 73 79 83 89 97 

    Time Complexity: O(N^(3/2)),

    Auxiliary Space: O(1)

    You can further optimize the time complexity to O(n*log(log(n))). CheckSieve of Eratosthenes.

    break..

    How do you find prime numbers from 1 to 1000 in Python?

    for num in range(1,1001): if num > 1: for i in range(2,num): if (num % i) == 0: break else: print(num,"is a prime number!") First thing would be, if num >= 1: after that, you have if (num % i) == 0 break that is why it is stopping there.
