The Sieve of Eratosthenes is an amazing tool for teaching people about prime numbers and composite numbers but it's not without its downsides. I've tried to answer the question, 'Is there a better way of representing a sieve like this?' 

This video is my attempt at representing the Sieve of Eratosthenes in the best light.

This is the second in a series of videos aiming to improve the simple sieve that's at the start of every prime number journey. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g7DWrO19CNY&list=PLhMQ5JG0CnKmfTIpKLAVspEfqhnjRoRVH&ab_channel=BenPetersJones
