%e Find the first occurrence of 0 (the first whole number) in the digits of Pi (only 35 digits in this illustration):
%e 31415926535897932384626433832795028..., and replace it with a space:
%e 31415926535897932384626433832795 28... Repeat the process with the next whole number, 1:
%e 3 415926535897932384626433832795 28... Then 2:
%e 3 4159 6535897932384626433832795 28... Then 3:
%e 4159 6535897932384626433832795 28... Then 4,5,6,7, etc., until the first occurrence of every counting number is eliminated from the digits of Pi.
%e 1 5 9 8 4 ... Then consolidate gaps between the remaining digits into a single comma:
%e 1,5,9,8,4,7,9,9,5,2,16,20,6,8,3,9, ... to produce the first terms in the whole number sieve of Pi.
