(sequence A000040 in OEIS).

The Goldbach conjecture verification project reports that it has computed all primes below 1018. That means 24739954287740860 primes (roughly 2.5×1016), but they were not stored. There are known formulae to evaluate the prime-counting function (the number of primes below a given value) faster than computing the primes. This has been used to compute that there are 1925320391606803968923 primes (roughly 2×1021) below 1023. A different computation found that there are 18435599767349200867866 primes (roughly 2×1022) below 1024 if the Riemann hypothesis is true.

Famous quotes containing the words the first, prime and/or numbers:

    “Knowledge has two extremes. The first is the pure natural ignorance in which all men find themselves at birth. The other extreme is that reached by great minds, who, having run through all that men can know, find they know nothing, and come back again to that same natural ignorance from which they set out; this is a learned ignorance which is conscious of itself.”
    —Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)

    “Faith in reason as a prime motor is no longer the criterion of the sound mind, any more than faith in the Bible is the criterion of righteous intention.”
    —George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    “Publishers are notoriously slothful about numbers, unless they’re attached to dollar signs—unlike journalists, quarterbacks, and felony criminal defendents who tend to be keenly aware of numbers at all times.”
    —Hunter S. Thompson (b. 1939)
