Prime List from 1 to 1e14
Purpose
This dataset publishes an ordered list of prime numbers in Parquet format for streaming, selective shard downloads, and online preview. It contains prime values only; it does not include labels, natural-language content, or derived features.
Coverage and shard contract
- Coverage:
1 <= p < 100,000,000,000,000(1e14) - Data directory:
1-1e14/ - Number of shards: 1,000
- Integer interval width per shard:
100,000,000,000(1e11) - File name pattern:
part-NNNN-of-1000.parquet - Shard indices:
0000through0999
Shard i contains every prime in the half-open interval
[i * 1e11, (i + 1) * 1e11). The first shard therefore starts with 2.
Adjacent shard intervals do not overlap and do not leave gaps.
Reading all 1,000 files in file-name order produces the complete globally
sorted list. The dataset is complete when every shard from
part-0000-of-1000.parquet through part-0999-of-1000.parquet is present.
Schema
Each file is a directly readable Parquet file with the following schema:
| Column | Arrow type | Nullable | Ordering |
|---|---|---|---|
prime |
uint64 |
No | Strictly increasing |
Parquet data pages use ZSTD compression. A prime appears exactly once in the shard responsible for its numeric interval.
Usage
Use streaming mode with Hugging Face Datasets to avoid downloading the entire collection at once:
from datasets import load_dataset
primes = load_dataset(
"lzray/primelist",
data_files="1-1e14/*.parquet",
split="train",
streaming=True,
)
for row in primes.take(10):
print(row["prime"])
For a limited numeric range, select only the files whose shard intervals intersect that range.
Scope limitations
This repository provides prime enumeration data, not a primality-testing API
or an interactive calculator. Consumers should preserve the uint64 type;
converting large values to a 32-bit integer will overflow.
