Every prime in is at least . Consequently the primorial satisfiesCombining this with part (c) and taking logarithms givessoFor , the inequality impliesThus the prime-counting upper bound from a primorial estimate yieldsWe may take .

If for every , where , thenfor . Every prime in contributes at least to the primorial, soTaking logarithms, using , and observing that for proves the claim.
