How It Works

Approximate pi(x), the number of primes up to x, using the logarithmic integral Li(x) = integral from 2 to x of dt/ln(t). Compare with the naive x/ln(x) approximation and display the relative error

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • Logarithmic integral Li = integral from 2 — The logarithmic integral li = integral from 2 recorded for the scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the prime counting li(x) result against the thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the logarithmic integral Li = integral from 2 for the scenario you are assessing. Approximate pi(x), the number of primes up to x, using the logarithmic integral Li(x) = integral from 2 to x of dt/ln(t). Compare with the naive x/ln(x) approximation and display the relative error. Use the prime counting li(x) result to inform your calculation.
