Abstract
Ramanujan proved that the inequality holds for all sufficiently large values of . Using an explicit estimate for the error in the prime number theorem, we show unconditionally that it holds if . Furthermore, we solve the inequality completely on the Riemann Hypothesis, and show that is the largest integer counterexample.
