FORMULA

The limit of this sequence is 1/2, as can be shown by setting an increasing lower bound on the ratio of composites in successive square intervals.

EXAMPLE

First few terms are: 1/4,3/8,5/11,2/5,1/2,3/7,12/25,13/29

For n=1: there is 1 nonprime <=1, 2 nonprimes <=4, and 5 nonprimes <=9. The ratio is (2 - 1)/(5 - 1) = 1/4.
