To Whom It May Concern:
I have devised a method of easily figuring out
approximately how many prime numbers are before
a given prime. Here it is: since the natural
logarithm of a number increases +2.3 for every
power of 10, the 39th Mersenne Prime, since it
contains 4,053,946 digits, is the 4,053,945*2.3=
9,324,074th prime number. Even more sophisticated
methods can come even closer, it might make it easier
to find unknown primes.
Sincerely yours,
Danny Karl Fleming
