Rule 1: Divisibility Check:

Prime numbers are natural numbers that are greater than 1 and have no divisors other than 1 and the number itself. In the divisibility check rule, we check whether the prime number is divisible by 2, 3, 5, or 7. If it's divisible by these numbers then it's not a prime number.

Rule 2: Prime Factorization:

In this prime factorization method, we break down all the numbers into their prime factors, showing them as the product of prime numbers.

Rule 3: Sieve of Eratosthenes Method:

The method, sieve of Eratosthenes is an ancient algorithm used to find all prime numbers up to a given limit. First, we list all the numbers from 100 to 200. Then start with the first prime number, 2. Mark all the multiples of 2 as non-prime. Repeat the process for the next unmarked prime number and continue until you reach the square root of 200, approximately 14.14. The remaining unmarked numbers are the prime numbers. 

Tips and Tricks for Prime Numbers 

Use common shortcuts to memorize the prime numbers. 101, 103, 107, 109, 113, 127, 131, 137, 139 use these numbers as reference.

Practice using the method of Sieve of Eratosthenes efficiently.

Numbers like 4, 8, 9, 16, 25, 36 are never prime.

Knowing the common powers of numbers helps in avoiding unnecessary checks.
