Formula

Equals Sum_{n>=1} 1/(A001248(n) - A000040(n)).

Equals Sum_{s>=2} P(s), where P is the prime zeta function. - Charles R Greathouse IV, Sep 06 2011

Equals A083342 - A077761, that is, Sum_{n>=2} ((EulerPhi(n) - MoebiusMu(n))/n) * log(zeta(n)). - Jean-François Alcover, Sep 02 2015

Equals 2 * Sum_{k>=2} pi(k)/(k^3-k), where pi(k) = A000720(k) (Shamos, 2011, p. 8). - Amiram Eldar, Mar 12 2024
