%N Numerators of ratio of nonprimes in a square interval to that of nonprimes in that interval and its successor.

%H G. C. Greubel, <a href="/A161865/b161865.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..1000</a>

%F 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.

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

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