Comments

The rational partial products are r(n)=a(n)/A191997(n), n>=1.

The limit r(n), n->infinity, approximately 1.3203236 = A114907, is the constant C(f_1,f_2) appearing in the Hardy-Littlewood conjecture (also called Bateman-Horn conjecture) for the integer polynomials f_1=x and f_2=x+2 (relevant for twin primes). See the Conrad reference Example 1, p. 134, also for the original references.

Essentially the same as A062270. - R. J. Mathar, Jun 23 2011

Formula

a(n) = numerator(r(n)), with the rational r(n):=2*product(1-1/(p(j)-1)^2,j=2..n), with the primes p(j):=A000040(j).

Example

The rationals r(n) (in lowest terms) are 2, 3/2, 45/32, 175/128, 693/512, 11011/8192,...
