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 implyfor every sufficiently large real number .
For every real ,For integer , strong induction proves this by splitting according to parity. If , every prime in divides , soIf , the valuation of a near-central binomial coefficient givesThe 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 .
