The authors prove some formulas for the \(n\)th prime \(p_n\) in the spirit of \textit{C. P. Williams} [Math. Gaz. 48, 413-415 (1964)]. Here is one example: \[ p_n= 2+ \sum^{2^n}_{m=2} [2^{-[k_m]}],\quad k_m={1\over n}\Biggl[ \sum^m_{k=2}\Biggl[{2\over d(k)}\Biggr]\Biggr], \] where \(d(n)\) is the divisor function and \([x]\) is the integral part of \(x\).
