COMMENTS
a(n) = the number of composites <= 10^9 for which the n-th prime is the least prime factor.
pi(sqrt(10^9)) = the number of terms of this sequence.
The sum of a(n) for n = 1..3401 = A000720(10^9) + A065855(10^9).

EXAMPLE
a(1) = 10^9 \ 2 - 1.
a(2) = 10^9 \ 3 - 10^9 \ (2*3) - 1
a(3) = 10^9 \ 5 - 10^9 \ (2*5) - 10^9 \ (3*5) + 10^9 \ (2*3*5) - 1
a(4) = 10^9 \ 7 - 10^9 \ (2*7) - 10^9 \ (3*7) - 10^9 \ (5*7) + 10^9 \ (2*3*7) + 10^9 \ (2*5*7) + 10^9 \ (3*5*7) - 10^9 \ (2*3*5*7) - 1.
