seriously. why are you asking? This is certainly not homework... and seeing as to how it isnt, it is just tedious work for every one of us who care to answer. Why do you care to know the answer? Or rather, are you just being malicious in tasking us with pointless intellectual labor?

The sum of all the prime numbers less than 1,000,000 is 37,550,402,023. This was computed using Maxima, a free computer algebra system. The command was sum (if primep(x) then x else 0, x, 2, 1000000); and took about 1 minute to run (the algorithm maxima uses for checking primality is obviously not very efficient, but for $0, I have no room to complain).
