Statement

Statement in terms of the asymptotic distribution in ratio terms

This states that:

where is the prime-counting function: the number of primes less than or equal to , and is the natural logarithm, i.e., the logarithm to base .

Statement in terms of the logarithmic integral

This is a stronger formulation, which states that:

.

Here, denotes the logarithmic integral.
