A little of a mess with the flags & logic in the formula tool, but surprisingly easy!

 

I've never used the generate Rows before - thought it would be better to use it in a batch macro - but the duplicated Append Fields method is much easier.

I tried two different versions - Brute force and using the method 'Sieve Of Eratosthenes'

The first one crashed around 100,000 records while the second can output results for 10M of records in 1 minute.

My attempt. Couldn't think how to tackle this easily using Alteryx tools, so had a go using the Python tool. Getting a strange error though regarding metadata, but outputs the answer.
