Let and choosewith fixed positive chosen so that the rectangle up to height lies inside the Zero-free region of the Riemann zeta function. Move the Perron contour from to . The only singularity crossed is the simple pole at of , whose residue contributes .
The standard bound in this zero-free rectangle givesThe two horizontal sides are , and the truncation error from part a is . Polynomial factors in can be absorbed by slightly reducing the exponential constant. Thus some satisfiesThis is the Prime number theorem with classical zero-free-region error.
