For real , the primorial up to is
where the product ranges over primes.
The Chebyshev theta function is one of the two Chebyshev functions and is the natural logarithm of the primorial:
where both the sum and the product range over prime numbers.
The central binomial coefficient and Legendre formula imply
for every sufficiently large real number .
For every real ,
For integer , strong induction proves this by splitting according to parity. If , every prime in divides , so
If , the valuation of a near-central binomial coefficient gives
The binomial estimates follow from the binomial theorem; in the odd case the two equal central coefficients together are at most . The result for real follows by replacing with .

A primorial is a product of the first \( n \) prime numbers. It is denoted as \( p_n\# \), where \( p_n \) is the \( n \)-th prime number.
