The Eratosthene sieve displaying the integer numbers from 1 to 128 [Le crible d'Eratosthène montrant les nombres entiers de 1 à 128].




The horizontal and the vertical axes display respectively the integer numbers X and their possible divisors Y. If Y divides exactly X, a green square with coordinates {X,Y} is marked and else a red square is used. At last, a white segment (obviously both ends are green since 1 and X divide X whatever X) with abscissa X > 2 means that X is a prime number (2 is the first prime number -the only one that is even- but it is not displayed here by means of a white segment).
