COMMENTS
| Remark: the quotient can be larger than 1/n at much larger primes, many times. So p does not set record in "standard" sense, only sinks first below 1/n, i.e. smaller than any previous values, but not necessarily smaller than the following ones. See also illustration.

FORMULA
| a(n)=min{prime(j): A001223(j)/log(prime(j)) < 1/n}, where prime(j)=A000040(j) is the j-th prime.
|
|
|
EXAMPLE
| a(1)=p(5)=11 and (13-11)/log(11) = 0.8340... < 1/1.
