Abstract

In this paper we will present an inequality with the sequence of prime numbers 2,3,5,7.... We prove that there exists a positive constant real number k, such that for every real number λ>k, there exists a natural number nλ, such that for every natural number n>nλ, it is true the inequality 2/2-1.3/3-1...Pn/Pn-1<λPn/n, where Pn is the n-th prime number. The constant number k is equal with eM+σ, where M is the Merten’s constant and σ is the sum of the convergent series ∑1/p(p-1). The constant k has an approximate value k≈2.812.

Keywords
