The first 1000 and 10000 primes

The first 1000 prime numbers are given below. The thousandth prime, prime(1000), is 7919.

View as a simple list or as a CSV spreadsheet. (How did you get these? See below).

Want more? A longer list with the first 10,000 primes is here. The ten-thousandth prime, prime(10000), is 104729. We obtained these as shown below.

How did you get these?

To get the first 1000 primes, we used our own bdcalc v2 program (available here) as follows:

for n in (1..1000) do println(n,"\t",prime(n)) done

To get the first 10000 primes, we used a C program, Sieve.c, as follows

Sieve 104730

using the fact that 104729 is the 10000th prime.
