For each non-prime odd number as F=pq , if we consider m/n as an approximation for q/p and choose k=mn , then by proving some lemmas and theorems, we can compute the values of m and n. Finally, by using Fermat’s factorization method for F and 4kF as difference of two non-consecutive natural numbers, we should be able to find the values of p and q. Then we introduce two new and powerful sieves for separating composite numbers from prime numbers.
