this is probably a naive question, but how does Mathematica give the result of Prime[k]? Since the numbers are not stored anywhere, and there is no algorithm to "compute" them, how does Mathematica produce them? Thanks to everybody, especially to Dr Bob and Yehuda Ben-Shimol, for answering my previous questions.
