Abstract
For let denote the number of primes not exceeding . For integers and , we determine when there is an integer with . In particular, we show that for any integers and there is an integer with . Consequently, for any integer there is a positive integer with . We also pose several conjectures for further research; for example, we conjecture that for each there is a positive integer such that divides , where denotes the -th prime.
