1. Example-1





1. 5th prime number

Solution:
Prime:1 = 2
Prime:2 = 3
Prime:3 = 5
Prime:4 = 7
Prime:5 = 11

The following lists the first 5 primes
2, 3, 5, 7, 11


So `5^(th)` prime number is 11
2. 10th prime number

Solution:
Prime:1 = 2
Prime:2 = 3
Prime:3 = 5
Prime:4 = 7
Prime:5 = 11
Prime:6 = 13
Prime:7 = 17
Prime:8 = 19
Prime:9 = 23
Prime:10 = 29

The following lists the first 10 primes
2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29


So `10^(th)` prime number is 29
3. 25th prime number

Solution:

The following lists the first 25 primes
2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47, 53, 59, 61, 67, 71, 73, 79, 83, 89, 97

The following table lists the first 25 primes, with 10 columns of consecutive primes in each of the 3 rows
12345678910
1 - 102357111317192329
11 - 2031374143475359616771
21 - 307379838997


So `25^(th)` prime number is 97
4. 50th prime number

Solution:

The following lists the first 50 primes
2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47, 53, 59, 61, 67, 71, 73, 79, 83, 89, 97, 101, 103, 107, 109, 113, 127, 131, 137, 139, 149, 151, 157, 163, 167, 173, 179, 181, 191, 193, 197, 199, 211, 223, 227, 229

The following table lists the first 50 primes, with 10 columns of consecutive primes in each of the 5 rows
12345678910
1 - 102357111317192329
11 - 2031374143475359616771

41 - 50179181191193197199211223227229


So `50^(th)` prime number is 229
5. 100th prime number

Solution:

The following lists the first 100 primes
2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47, 53, 59, 61, 67, 71, 73, 79, 83, 89, 97, 101, 103, 107, 109, 113, 127, 131, 137, 139, 149, 151, 157, 163, 167, 173, 179, 181, 191, 193, 197, 199, 211, 223, 227, 229, 233, 239, 241, 251, 257, 263, 269, 271, 277, 281, 283, 293, 307, 311, 313, 317, 331, 337, 347, 349, 353, 359, 367, 373, 379, 383, 389, 397, 401, 409, 419, 421, 431, 433, 439, 443, 449, 457, 461, 463, 467, 479, 487, 491, 499, 503, 509, 521, 523, 541

The following table lists the first 100 primes, with 10 columns of consecutive primes in each of the 10 rows
12345678910
1 - 102357111317192329
