Question

stuck on  a problem Set2(prime numbers)

x=3
b=3
N=1
n=1
while N<999:
    
    x=x+2*n
    n=n+1
    k=n
    while((x%b)!=0):
        if k>0:
            k=k-1
            b=b+2*(k-1)
        N=N+1
        print N
            
print x            
(where is the error?)(finding 1000th prime number
