Raul's hint has reduced the size of the problem somewhat, but I still think I need to loop up to %: 5e15 which may be possible but I doubt it. I will think about it again tomorrow.

I haven't looked at it in a while, but my working script includes a remark: NB. ... suggests a sieve might be ok - but for 5e15????!!! Also, I seemed to be trying to use a moebius function or Moebius' Theorem... As I haven't managed to solve it yet, I don't suppose that is a serious spoiler!!!!
