How many primes are there in a certain range of numbers?
Hi, what would be the best estimate in the # of primes between [tex]10^{100}[/tex] and [tex]10^{101} [/tex]
thanks |

I'm not sure if there is a newer equation, there probably is one from riemman, but Gauss had a formula for approximating the number of primes up to any number x:
[tex]Li(x)=\int_0^x\frac{dt}{log(t)}[/tex] You could compute this for 10100 and then for 10101 and subtract the first result from the second and it will give a good estimate. |
