Misplaced Pages

This is a list of articles about prime numbers. A prime number (or prime) is a natural number greater than 1 that has no positive divisors other than 1 and itself. By Euclid's theorem, there are an infinite number of prime numbers. Subsets of the prime numbers may be generated with various formulas for primes. The first 1000 primes are listed below, followed by lists of notable types of prime numbers in alphabetical order, giving their respective first terms. 1 is neither prime nor composite.

The first 1000 prime numbers

The following table lists the first 1000 primes, with 20 columns of consecutive primes in each of the 50 rows.

(sequence A000040 in the OEIS).

The Goldbach conjecture verification project reports that it has computed all primes smaller than 4×10. That means 95,676,260,903,887,607 primes (nearly 10), but they were not stored. There are known formulae to evaluate the prime-counting function (the number of primes smaller than a given value) faster than computing the primes. This has been used to compute that there are 1,925,320,391,606,803,968,923 primes (roughly 2×10) smaller than 10. A different computation found that there are 18,435,599,767,349,200,867,866 primes (roughly 2×10) smaller than 10, if the Riemann hypothesis is true.

Lists of primes by type

Below are listed the first prime numbers of many named forms and types. More details are in the article for the name. n is a natural number (including 0) in the definitions.
