(sequence A000040 in OEIS).

The Goldbach conjecture verification project reports that it has computed all primes below 10¹⁸.^[1] That means 24,739,954,287,740,860 primes, but they were not stored. There are known formulas to evaluate the prime-counting function (the number of primes below a given value) faster than computing the primes. This has been used to compute that there are 1,925,320,391,606,803,968,923 primes below 10²³.
