Finding primes

Number Theory Level pending

Let P ( N ) P(N) be the probability that a randomly chosen integer, N N , is prime. If P ( N ) = x / ( 6 ln N ) P(N) = x/(6\ln N) Then find the value of x x where x x is an integer.

Note: Assume that N N is very large, and ignore terms in your answer that are of subleading order in N N . Also, make the assumption that the probability that N N is divisible by a prime p p is exactly 1 / p 1/p (which is essentially true, for a large enough sample size of numbers).


The answer is 6.
