List of prime numbers

This is a dynamic list and may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help by editing the page to add missing items, with references to reliable sources.

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 1,000 primes are listed below, followed by lists of notable types of prime numbers in alphabetical order, giving their respective first terms. The number 1 is neither prime nor composite.

The first 1,000 prime numbers

The following table lists the first 1,000 primes, with 20 columns of consecutive primes in each of the 50 rows.^[1]

(sequence A000040 in the OEIS).

The Goldbach conjecture verification project reports that it has computed all primes smaller than 4×10¹⁸.^[2] That means 95,676,260,903,887,607 primes^[3] (nearly 10¹⁷), 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 2×10²¹) smaller than 10²³. A different computation found that there are 18,435,599,767,349,200,867,866 primes (roughly 2×10²²) smaller than 10²⁴, if the Riemann hypothesis is true.^[4]
