%C A294508 Inspired by A291440.
%C A294508 Mincu and Panaitopol (2008) prove that pi(m*n) >= pi(m)*i(n) for all positive m and n except for m = 5, n = 7; m = 7, n = 5; and m = n = 7.
%C A294508 a(i) = -1 for i = 26 and 28, when n = 7 and m = either 5 or 7.
%C A294508 a(i) = 0 for i = 1, 6, 13, 15, 24, 33, 35, 81, 83, 85, 174, 176, 178; when n=m=1; n=m=3; n=5 and m is either 3 or 5; n=7 and m=3; n=8 and m is either 5 or 7; n=13 and m is either 3, 5, or 7; and n=19 with m being either 3, 5 or 7.
%C A294508 First occurrence of k = -1, 0, 1, 2, .., 20, 21, etc. occurs at i = 26, 1, 2, 4, 11, 22, 51, 45, 77, 54, 55, 76, 115, 120, 130, 187, 168, 135, 171, 136, 169, 274, etc.
%C A294508 Last occurrence of k >= -1 occurs at i = 28, 178, 260, 499, 906, 1179, 2704, 2778, 3406, 6558, 6673, 6789, 7024, 9594, 9733, 10156, 11479, 19704, 19903, 20304, 20709, 20913, etc.
%C A294508 Conjecture: min_{1<=m<=n} T(n,m) <= T(n,M) for all M > n if n <> 5.

%F A294508 a(n*(n+1)/2) = T(n,n) = A291440(n).
%F A294508 min_{1<=m<=n} a(n*(n-1)/2 + m) = min_{1<=m<=n} T(n,m) = A294509(n).
%e A294508 a(19) = 3 since 19 = 5*6/2 + 4, so the 19th term is T(6,4) = pi(6*4) - pi(6)*pi(4) = 9 - 3*2 = 3.
