Challenge: How many prime numbers are in 100 000?

A prime number is a natural number greater than 1 that has no positive divisors other than 1 and itself. In example: 2, 3, 11, 19, 23, 739. You need to find out how many are there in 100 000, but it would be great if you can go through a greater number, given that sololearn has an execution time limit (for anything other than web). So the trick is to make it fast! Some samples: 1-10: 4 1-100: 25 1-10000: 1229 My try: https://code.sololearn.com/cFt13s2PufPP/#cs
