ca.analysis and odes - Truncated product of RiemannZeta(1)?

Hi, this is my first question. It appeared while solving a research problem in cryptography. I am computer science student, so I apologize for lack of mathematical rigor in this question. Thanks for any help.



Consider the RiemannZeta function at s = +1. It diverges, but the expression for the function is RiemannZeta(1) = limnrightarrowinftysumni=1frac1i , the truncated sum of which are the n-th harmonic number, mathcalH(n).



The question is,
How about the expression RiemannZeta(1) = limnrightarrowinftyprodtextrmprimespileqnfrac11p1i. is the value of the truncated product mathcalH(n) too?



My simulations for large values of n tells me that it is some function of logn (for example comparing the ratio of the function for n and n2 and n3 etc) How do we prove this?



In summary, What is the value of prodtextrmprimespileqnfrac11p1i?
Thanks
