bounds on π(n)


This article shows that

ln2(nlnn)-1π(n)8ln2(nlnn)

and thus that the function

π(n)/nlnn

is bounded above and below.

Definition 1

If n is an integer, write n=piri where the pi are distinct primes. Then

ordp(n)={riif p=pi0𝑜𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑤𝑖𝑠𝑒
Lemma 1
ordp(n!)=i=1npi

Proof.Note that the number of multiplesMathworldPlanetmath of pn is simply np. But that does not result in ordp(n!) since some of those np numbers may have additional factors of p. So divide each by p; then clearly

ordp(n!)=np+ordp(np!)

The result follows inductively. Note that the sum is actually finite.

Lemma 2

If (m+nn)=qi,qi=piri, all pi distinct, then i,qim+n.

Proof.Consider q1=pc. Choose a such that pam+n<pa+1; it suffices to show ca.

c=ordp((m+nn))=ordp((m+n)!)-ordp(m!)-ordp(n!)=1(m+npi-mpi-npi)

Now, in general, if x=r,y=s, then x+y=r+s or r+s+1. So the sum above has at most a terms (since pa+1>m+n), each of which is either 0 or 1, and thus ca.

Theorem 1

(Chebyshev) If n2

π(n)ln2(nlnn)-1

Proof.Choose r such that 0<r<n, and write (nr)=piλi. Each piλin by the preceding lemma, and there are at most π(n) terms on the right-hand side. Thus

nπ(n)(nr)r

Summing from r=1 to r=n-1, we get

(n-1)nπ(n)r=1n-1(nr)=2n-2

But nπ(n)2 since n2, so

nπ(n)+12n

so (π(n)+1)lnnnln2 and thus

π(n)ln2(nlnn)-1
Theorem 2

(Chebyshev)

π(n)8ln2(nlnn)

Proof.Note that if p is prime, np2n, then p divides (2nn) since p occurs in the numerator but not in the denominator. Thus np2np divides (2nn) as well, and thus

np2np(2nn)22n

and therefore

nπ(2n)-π(n)22n

Taking logs, we get

π(2n)-π(n)2nln2lnn=2ln2nlnn

Let f(n)=π(n)lnn. Then

f(2n)-f(n)=π(2n)ln2n-π(n)lnn
=(π(2n)-π(n))lnn+π(2n)(ln2n-lnn)
=(π(2n)-π(n))lnn+π(2n)ln2
2nln2+2nln2
=4nln2

Then

f(2t)=(f(2t)-f(2t-1))+(f(2t-1)-f(2t-2))++(f(2)-f(1))
4ln2(2t-1+2t-2++20)
4ln22t

Note that f is monotonically increasing, so if we choose t with 2t-1n<2t, then

f(n)f(2t)4ln22t4ln22n=8nln2
