%N Similar to A057835 except using K * X / log(X), K=1.022.
%C This is an improvement over the classic X / log(X) approximation in the range many people work with.
%C pi(x), R(x), and li(x) are all asymptotically x/log x + x/log^2 x + O(x/log^3 x), so this approximation is good around exp(1/.022) ≈ 5 * 10^19. Asymptotically the best value for K would be 1. - _Charles R Greathouse IV_, Aug 18 2022
