A230980 Number of primes <= n, starting at n=0. 3

%N Number of primes <= n, starting at n=0.

%C Essentially identical to A000720, except that sequence, being an arithmetical sequence, starts at n = 1. - _N. J. A. Sloane_, Jun 21 2017

%C Also, on the first quadrant of the square grid, consider a diagram in which the number of cells in the horizontal bar of the k-th row is equal to the k-th prime, see example. The total length of the boundary segments between the structure formed by the first k horizontal bars and the structure formed by the vertical bars, from [0, 0], is equal to A014688(k). a(n) is the number of cells in the vertical bar of the n-th column.

%C Note that in a similar diagram for A000720 the lengths of the horizontal bars give A006093 (primes minus 1) not A000040 (the prime numbers) because A000720 has only one zero, not two.

%C Also, the number of distinct prime factors of the factorial number n!. - _Torlach Rush_, Jan 17 2014

%C The lengths of the boundary horizontal segments between the structure formed by the horizontal bars and the structure formed by the vertical bars of the diagram gives A054541. The zig-zag path formed by the boundary segments is in A230850. - _Omar E. Pol_, Jun 22 2017
