FORMULA

Comment from Gary McGuire, Dec 22 2004: Cohen and Katz show that the set of primes with first digit 1 has no natural density, but has supernatural/Dirichlet density log_{10} (2) ~= 0.3, the primes with first digit 2 have (supernatural) density log_{10} (3/2) ~=0.176, .... and the primes with first digit 9 have density log_{10} (10/9) ~= 0.046. This would seem to explain the first digit phenomenon. Note that sum_{k=1}^9 log_{10} (k+1)/k = 1.
