Now the unchecked numbers are the prime numbers.Thus the prime numbers up to 19 are: [give a comma separated list of numbers, e.g: 2,3,5]

To find all composite numbers up to 19 using the Sieve of Eratosthenes, we start by listing all the numbers from 2 to 19. The process involves marking the multiples of each prime number, starting from the smallest prime (2).

1. List the numbers: 
   \[ 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 \]

2. Identify the primes:
   - Start with the first prime number, 2. Mark all multiples of 2 (greater than 2):
     \[ 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18 \] (these are composite).
   - Next, move to the next unmarked number, which is 3. Mark all multiples of 3 (greater than 3):
     \[ 6, 9, 12, 15, 18 \] (6, 12, and 18 are already marked).
   - Next, move to 5. Mark all multiples of 5 (greater than 5):
     \[ 10, 15 \] (10 is already marked).
   - Finally, the next number is 7. The only multiple is 14, which is already marked.

3. The numbers that remain unmarked (not composite) are the prime numbers.

The composite numbers up to 19 are:
\[ 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 14, 15, 16, 18 \]

Thus, the prime numbers up to 19 are:
\[ 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19 \]

**Prime numbers up to 19:** 
\[ 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19 \]
