I want somebody to help me what attempts have been made to understand the sequence of prime number. Is the Nth term of the sequence disclosed?
There is no explicit formula in N for the Nth prime if that is what you mean.scimad said:I want somebody to help me what attempts have been made to understand the sequence of prime number. Is the Nth term of the sequence disclosed?

RamaWolf said:There are - on the other hand - algorithms (nor really formulas) to decide
- if a given number p is a prime
- if a given number q is composite (i.e. is not a prime)
- all primes between N0 and N1, if you know all prime numbers < Sqrt(N1)

The formula for finding the Nth term of the prime number sequence is N * (N - 1) + 2 . This formula works for all values of N greater than or equal to 1.
To find the 10th term of the prime number sequence, we plug in N = 10 into the formula: 10 * (10 - 1) + 2 = 92 . Therefore, the 10th term of the prime number sequence is 92.
No, the Nth term of the prime number sequence can only be a whole number. This is because prime numbers are only divisible by 1 and themselves, and therefore cannot be expressed as decimals or fractions.
The Nth term in the prime number sequence represents the Nth prime number. This is useful in understanding and studying the patterns and properties of prime numbers.
There is no limit to how large the Nth term of the prime number sequence can be. As N increases, the Nth term will also increase, potentially becoming larger than any number we can imagine. This is because there is an infinite number of prime numbers.
