FORMULA

pi(n) = number of primes less than or equal to n. By repeating n=pi(n), n will reach 0 in a finite number of steps.

EXAMPLE

Pi(100) = 25

Pi(25) = 9

Pi(9) = 4

Pi(4) = 2

Pi(2) = 1

Pi(1) = 0

Total steps to reach 0 = 6. Thus 6 is the 3rd entry in the sequence corresponding to n=2.

PROG

(PARI) pr10n(n) = { local c; for(x=0, n, y=10^x; c=0; p=y; while(p, p = pi(p); c++); print1(c", ") ) } pi(n) = { local ct; ct=0; forprime(x=1, n, ct++); return(ct) \pi(x) prime count function
