%N a(n) = numerator of Sum_{i=1..n} +-1/n, where the sign is -1 iff n is prime.

%C The denominators are given by A003418.

%C The sum diverges. In fact, the n-th partial sum is C_1 log n - C2 log log n, regardless of ordering, which can only affect c1 and c2. - _R. K. Guy_

%e The partial sums are 1, 1/2, 1/6, 5/12, 13/60, 23/60, 101/420, 307/840, 1201/2520, 1453/2520, ...
