The Greeks were such prolific breeders that not even their constant wars could contain a burgeoning population. As each city-state had very limited productive land, they could not divide small family farms up amongst several sons, so these became landless and therefore a problem. So the cities loaded the surplus on ships and sent them off to seize land from the inhabitants and establish new city-states for themselves. This way the Greek world grew to over 2,000 independent city-states spread around the Mediterranean and Black Seas.

How many prime numbers between 1 and 8888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888?

To determine the number of prime numbers between 1 and 8888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888, we can use the Prime Number Theorem. This theorem states that the density of prime numbers around a large number n is approximately 1/ln(n). Therefore, the number of prime numbers between 1 and 8888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888 can be estimated by dividing ln(8888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888) by ln(2), which gives approximately 1.33 x 10^27 prime numbers.
