WAY S TO FIND NUMBE R OF PRIME
NUMBE RS
 The notion of how many prime numbers come before a particular number
‘n’ which is raised to consecutive powers ‘y’, starting from 1, is given by the
two variables x1 and x2.
 Where x1 and x2 determine the range of the required prime numbers
before n^y.
 The results tend to the numbers which we would get on counting.
However, after a certain numbers, this method of counting becomes
impossible to use, indicating the indispensability of the aforementioned
variables.
X1 = n / ln(n)y
X2 = n / ln(n)y - 1
where n = the given number
y = the power to which n is raised
ln = Natural Logarithm
