For fixed λ>1, integrate (logt)λ−1 against A(t)=∑p≤t​(logp)/p. The Mertens first theorem gives A(t)=logt+O(1). Partial summation makes the main integral (logx)λ/λ; the bounded error in A contributes at most a constant times (logx)λ−1. The restriction λ>1 ensures that integrating the derivative (λ−1)(logt)λ−2/t has this bound.
