EXAMPLE

1/2+1/2+1/2+1/2+1/2+1/2 = 3 (integer part of Pi)

3+1/11+1/23+1/139+1/90439 gives an approximation which is good to 10 decimal digits.

Adding the other fractions we reach a good approximation to 19, 38, 75, 149, 296, 591 decimal digits.

MAPLE

P:=proc(n) local a, i; a:=evalf(Pi-3, 100); for i from 1 by 1 to 6 do print(2); od; for i from 1 by 1 to n do if 1/ithprime(i)<a then a:=a-1/ithprime(i); print(a); print(ithprime(i)); fi; od; end: P(100000);
