COMMENTS
PrimePi(n) is the number of primes less than or equal to n.
10^n/PrimePi(10^n) - 1) is the ratio of the number of composite numbers less than 10^n divided by the number of prime numbers less than 10^n. Conjecture: Except for the first 2 terms, the difference between successive terms is 2 or 3.
Many terms can be obtained via the following bounds by Pierre Dusart: (1 + 1/log(x)^2 + 2/log(x)^2) * x/log(x) < primepi(x) < (1 + 1/log(x)^2 + 2/log(x)^2 + 7.59/log(x)^3) * x/log(x), for x >= 88789. - Giovanni Resta, Jan 03 2020
