Here's a page on the distribution of prime numbers.

http://primes.utm.edu/howmany.html

I tried to estimate how many prime numbers there were below this number, and Wolfram Alpha timed out, though I got the density estimated, I think.[1] If I remember my logarithm math, around one in 50 million numbers at this magnitude is prime, but that's still gigantic! The count of prime numbers smaller than this prime number is also around 23 million digits long.
