If the length L is considered to be increasing by unit measurements
towards infinity at A, the angle at θ moves toward π/2, and (a),
in the equation of the spiral passing through B and A (with its origin
at O), moves toward being infinitely large.
approx. #primes = π(L) / 2(ln L) ArcTan(θ) SinArcTan(θ)
As (a) approaches becoming infinitely large ArcTan(θ) approaches π/2, and
SinArcTan(θ) approaches 1, which leaves the equality in the Prime Number
Theorom.
number of primes up to 10,000
when L = 10,000
θ = 89.9942° (1.570696 radians)
L = eaθ
10,000 = ea(1.570696)
a = 5.863858
approx. #primes = π(L) / 2(ln L) ArcTan(θ) SinArcTan(θ)
ArcTan(θ) = 1.401885
SinArcTan(θ) = .985768
approx. #primes = 31415.92654/25.45616496
= 1234.118595
rounded off, this amount is five primes above the exact number of 1229.
at L = 100,000 the equation gives an approx. of 9594 which is 2 primes above
the exact amount.
at L = 1 million the approx. is 9 primes above the exact amount.
at 10 million the approx. is 124 primes less.
at L = 1 billion the approx. is 5468 primes less than the exact amount, which
is .99989 accurate.
at L = 1011, 1012, 1013 the approximations are
all above the exact amounts, being 1.000010191, 1.000037009, and 1.000051683
accurate.
