In this C program, we will learn to print all prime numbers between 1 to N using for loop. A Prime number is a natural number greater than 1 that is only divisible by either 1 or itself. Here is the list of first few prime numbers
2 3 5 7 11 13 17 19 23....

Algorithm to check whether a number is prime number or not
Let, N be a positive number.
Let, N be a positive number.
- For every number i, between 2 to N/2(2<= i <= N/2) check whether i divides N completely(check If i is a factor of N).
- if (N % i == 0), then N cannot be a Prime number.
- If none of the number between 2 to N/2 divides N completely then N is a prime number.
C program to print sum of all prime numbers between 1 to N
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
int counter, N, i, isPrime, primeFactorSum = 0;
printf("Enter a Number\n");
scanf("%d", &N);
for(counter = 2; counter <= N; counter++) {
isPrime = 1;
for(i = 2; i <=(counter/2); ++i) {
if(counter%i==0) {
isPrime = 0;
break;
}
}
if(isPrime==1)
primeFactorSum += counter;
}
printf("Sum of Prime Numbers : %d",
N,primeFactorSum);
return 0;
}
Output
Enter a Number 15 Sum of Prime Numbers : 41
Enter a Number 50 Sum of Prime Numbers : 328
