  I became interested in prime numbers after hearing about Goldbach's Conjecture, "Every even integer greater than 2 can be expressed as the sum of two primes". Verifying this requires a source of primes. Short lists (or programs to generate them) are widely available. Really long lists are scarce, except for To make these lists more accessible, I have reformatted them to a size easily manageable by ordinary text editors and viewers--about 55MB. The file names correspond to the range of primes the file contains:
The leading zero digits cause the file names to collate in order of their content. Longer lists can be composed with the DOS copy command. Move the required prime txt files to a temporary directory and use: copy *.txt longList.txt |
