%N A048869 Numbers for which reduced residue system contains as many primes as nonprimes.
%C A048869 This sequence is finite, since the number of primes < n is ~ n/log(n), but liminf phi(n) / ( n*log(log(n)) ) = exp(-gamma), a consequence of Mertens's theorem (see Hardy and Wright's Theory of Numbers). Also, if there exists a further element, it is >700000 (as verified with the enclosed Mathematica code). (Question: is it possible to show that there are no further such elements by using explicit bounds in the Prime Number Theorem and in Mertens's theorem?) - _Reiner Martin_, Jan 16 2002
%C A048869 There are no terms larger than 10890; it suffices to check to 52024. [_Charles R Greathouse IV_, Dec 19 2011]
