Good question. The first of the odd primes up to 7 occur as the most frequent factors, other than 2. So 3,5,7 are most often reoccurring. Because of the pattern

Good question. The first of the odd primes up to 7 occur as the most frequent factors, other than 2. So 3,5,7 are most often reoccurring. Because of the patterns they illustrate especially when modulating the columns it seemed to make sense.
While all of that is true, the original concept for the project was based off the Sieve of Eratosthenes.

- MrBra 12y agoHehe I asked because time ago I implemented something similar (using console though) and by instinct I was doing the same, coloring numbers based on divisors to see patterns, and primes, but just when I wanted to get some conclusion out that, I had to stop and do something else, so it kinda remained in my brain as something I had to finish to consciously understand. Thanks for explaining then, so what we did is a Sieve of Eratosthenes... But I have to admit that I also coded it to see which particular patterns (if any) primes were drawing on screen.. :)
