Is there any formula for finding nth prime number?
Can you explain how these algorithms work?
Sure! One popular algorithm is the Sieve of Eratosthenes, which involves creating a list of all integers up to a certain number, then crossing out all multiples of 2, then 3, then 5, and so on until you reach the square root of the max number in the list. The remaining numbers in the list are prime. Another algorithm is the Sieve of Atkin, which is more complicated but can be more efficient for larger numbers.
