The Copeland-Erdős constant is the concatenation of "0." with the base 10 representations of the prime numbers in order. Its value is approximately
It is given by
where p(n) gives the n-th prime number.
The larger Smarandache-Wellin numbers approximate the value of this constant multiplied by the appropriate power of 10.
Its continued fraction is [0; 4, 4, 8, 16, 18, 5, 1, ...] (OEIS: A30168)
In base 10, this is a normal number, a fact proven by Arthur Herbert Copeland and Paul Erdős in 1946 (hence the name of the constant).
