2) Cross off number 1, because all primes are greater than 1.
3) Number 2 is a prime, so we can keep it, but we need to cross off the multiples
of 2 (i.e. even numbers).
4) Number 3 is also a prime, so again we keep it and cross off the multiples
of 3.
5) The next number left is 5 (because four has been crossed off), so we keep
it and cross of the multiples of this number.
6) The final number left in the first row is number 7, so cross off its multiples.
7) You have finished. All of the "surviving" numbers (coloured in
white below) on your grid are prime numbers.
