Yes, but the 10'000th prime number is not 79'190, of course since it isn't prime, nor 79'187 or 79'193, which are the 7761st and 7762nd prime numbers.
Want more "fun" looking up numbers? What is the one millionth prime number? -----
Clues: it has eight digits which add up to 40. When it is divided by 1000, the remainder is the 150th prime number, and the quotient is a multiple of the 68th prime number. -----
