sum of 1/A007504(n)

[T. D. Noe]

Using primes up to 1e6 I get

%48 = 1.023474393262367314520463960

below the PARI/gp code.

M.H.

A122989()={ local( preci=10, sp=0, s=0.);
forprime(p=1,1000000, sp+=p; s+=1/sp;
 if(sp>preci, print("Using primes up to p=",p," we get s=",s);preci*=10);
);s}

(15:34) gp > A122989()                preci*=10););s
