How Is the Distribution of Primes Described?

šŸ’” The Answer

  • The prime number theorem states primes thin out gradually.
  • For large x, the number of primes up to x is roughly x / ln(x).
  • The Riemann hypothesis would describe gaps more precisely.
  • Statistics show primes become rarer but never vanish entirely.
