Feb 28, 2023 at 19:44 comment added Steffen Jaeschke This implies that the left hand can be compared to the right hand with a number chosen arbitrarily it will always be exceeded with growing $n$, a natural number indicating the difference between prime. So for a usual math person's intuition is $c==1$ for such comparisons, but for math geeks this is a special. They prefer not to divide the nice difference with the term in $n$ for reasons of beauty. If you do this in through this, gets meaningful and understandable in terms of a diverging term on the left. Then put left a limit sign and right the infinity symbol, and this is Analysis I.
