COMMENTS

Computed up to 10^19 by program. The program was written in C, and is rather long. It starts by finding all prime numbers up to 4*10^9, then uses that to count all powers of these primes up to 10^19.

EXAMPLE

For n=1, there are 3 powers of prime numbers less than 10^1: 2^2, 2^3 and 3^2. i.e. 4, 8, 9.

For n=2, there are 10 powers of prime numbers less than 10^2: 4, 8, 9, 16, 25, 27, 32, 49, 64, 81.
