"The first two terms get positive signs. For every other term, the sign is
defined as follows: if the denominator is a prime of the form 4m - 1, the
term is positive; if the denominator is a prime of the form 4m + 1, the
term is negative; for composite numbers, the sign of the term equals the
product of the signs of its factors."
