Extract

Artin, in 1927, conjectured that for any given non-zero integer a other than — 1 or a perfect square there exist infinitely many primes for which a is a primitive root. He also conjectured that the number of primes not exceeding x, denoted by Na(x), for which a is a primitive root is given by the asymptotic formula

where A(a) is a constant depending on a.
