%N Number of primes < 10^n.
%C Number of primes with at most n digits; or pi(10^n).
%C Partial sums of A006879. - _Lekraj Beedassy_, Jun 25 2004
%C Also omega( (10^n)! ), where omega(x): number of distinct prime divisors of x. - _Cino Hilliard_, Jul 04 2007
%C This sequence also gives a good approximation for the sum of primes less than 10^(n/2). This is evident from the fact that the number of primes less than 10^2n closely approximates the sum of primes less than 10^n. See link on Sum of Primes for the derivation. - _Cino Hilliard_, Jun 08 2008
%C It appears that (10^n)/log((n+3)!) is a lower bound close to a(n), see A025201. - _Eric Desbiaux_, Jul 20 2010, edited by _M. F. Hasler_, Dec 03 2018
