The Sieve of Pritchard is a relatively lesser-known algorithm in number theory used for finding prime numbers. It is named after mathematician J. W. Pritchard, who introduced this technique. The sieve method is a general approach for finding primes, which includes more famous algorithms like the Sieve of Eratosthenes.
