Is there a formula to get nth term of the prime number. t(1)=2 t(2)=3 t(3)=5 t(4)=7 . . . t(n)=?

OpenStudy (klimenkov):

You will be given a lot of money if you'll find it! This is one of the most populap math problem in the world!

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

2 is prime?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh.......

OpenStudy (klimenkov):

@lgbasallote sure. It has no dividers except 1 and itself 2.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, 2 is prime. Interestingly, there is a relationship between terms in the Fibonacci sequence and primes.

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

then why isn't 1 prime?

OpenStudy (klimenkov):

It is not prime by definition.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because it has only 1 dividers ;)

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

you can actually make a code that can find the nth prime number...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So, this question has no answer. Thanx guys.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i know that there are formulas that holds up to a given n but not a general one

OpenStudy (klimenkov):

\(2^{43112609}−1\) Is the biggest prime number that was found.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that code depends on stack values, a single formula for tn is not there

OpenStudy (anonymous):

given n - i mean up to a specific n
