Abstract
In this paper we review the properties of families of numbers of the form , with integer (in which there are all prime numbers greater than 3 and other compound numbers with particular properties) to later use them in a new sieve that allows the separation of numbers that generate primes from those that only generate compounds. In principle, this can be used to find the amount of prime numbers up to a given number ; this means, .
