COMMENTS
Start with the natural numbers:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ...
Accept the 2nd number, 2 and erase every 2nd number after it, giving:
1 2 3 5 7 9 11 13 15 17 19 21 23 25 27 29 31 33 35 ...
Accept the 3rd number, 3 and erase every 3rd number after it, giving:
1 2 3 5 7 11 13 17 19 23 25 29 31 35 ...
Accept the 4th number, 5 and erase every 4th number after it, giving:
1 2 3 5 7 11 13 19 23 25 31 35 ...
Repeat!
