COMMENT

"6/Pi^2 is the probability that two randomly selected numbers will be coprime and also the probability that a randomly selected integer is 'square-free.'" C. Pickover.

6/Pi^2=Product_{k=1..infinity} (1-1/ithprime(k)^2)=Sum_{k=1..infinity} mu(k)/k^2. - Vladeta Jovovic (vladeta(AT)eunet.rs), May 18 2001

In fact, the probability that any k randomly selected numbers will be coprimes is Sum {1..inf) 1/n^k. - rgwv
