	OFFSET	`1,3`
	COMMENT	`The power to which you must raise the fraction p(n+1)/p(n) to obtain a result which is greater than 2. It has been proved that lim inf of this sequence is (positive) infinity; eg. the ratio between subsequent primes tends to 1.`
	FORMULA	`a(n) = floor(1 / log_2 (p(n) / p(n+1)))`
	EXAMPLE	`a(5) = 4 because the sixth prime 11 divided by the fifth prime 13 has base two logarithm 0.241008.. and this lies between 1/4 and 1/5.`
	MATHEMATICA	`f[n_] := Floor[1/Log[2, Prime[n + 1]/Prime[n]]]`
	CROSSREFS	`Cf. A000523, A000040, A074461.` `Sequence in context: A131888 A109170 A099311 this_sequence A130107 A107130 A065423` `Adjacent sequences: A130739 A130740 A130741 this_sequence A130743 A130744 A130745`
