The first million primes

Introduction

codeguppy.com recommends exploring math and science concepts with code. One of the projects that you can find on our site is generating prime numbers. We have several program about prime numbers in the math section.

We recommend you explore those and eventually use them in the classroom.

The first million primes

However, in this article, we will not focus on the code, but instead we will offer for download the list of the first million prime numbers.

We will list below just a few prime numbers (from start and end of this list), but the entire list is too big to be listed on the page, therefore we will provide it as a 📎 downloadable .zip archive.
