%N Nearest integer to n/log(n).

%C The prime number theorem states that the number of primes <= x is asymptotic to x/log(x).

%C n/log(n)=n/log_10(n) * 1/log(10)=n*log_10(e)/log_10(n)=n*A002285/log_10(n) [From _Eric Desbiaux_, Jun 27 2009]

%C Similar to floor(1/(1-x)) where x^n=1/n. - _Jon Perry_, Oct 29 2013

%D Cf. G. H. Hardy and E. M. Wright, An Introduction to the Theory of Numbers, 5th ed., Oxford Univ. Press, 1979, Theorem 6.
