1 Introduction
In a previous writing [3], I already showed that, contrary to what is generally
accepted [1], the Riemann z`eta function does not equal the Euler product
or that:
p prime
1
1 − p−s
=
∞
n=1
1
ns

2 New formula
I am now glad to announce that the formula using the Euler product, without
using the complex power s, should be:
∀pi≤x
(1 − 1/pi) =
x
ln(x) · e
x
i=1(1/i)

2. 3 testing New formula
The accurateness of formula 2 can easily be shown by pasting the following
code in PARI/GP:
forstep(x=1000,41000,3000,print(prime(x),” ”,prime(x)/log(prime(x))/
exp(sum(i=1,prime(x),1/i,0.))/prodeuler(y=2,prime(x),(1-1/y))))
The result of this testing can be found in Figure 1.
4 Proof of formula 2
Formula 2 can be reproduced after eliminating γ from my definition of the
logarithmic function [4]:
ln(x = pi) =
1
eγ · x=pi
i=2 (1 − 1/pi)
(3)
using the definition of the Euler Mascheroni constant [2]:
γ = lim
n→∞
n
k=1
1
k
− ln(n) (4)
5 summary
We have found a new formula for the Euler product. This formula is gen-
erally better for higher x but is still acceptable for lower x. So, x, doesn’t
need to go to ∞ for the formula to be valid!

vided by the left side of formula 2 for different primes (x). The accurateness
can be easily checked as 1 would be a perfect match
