TITLE: A Mertens-like product over primes
QUESTION [8 upvotes]: MathWorld's page Prime Products gives the 'related result' (7) to Mertens' theorem:
$$
\lim_{n\to\infty}\log p_n\prod_{k=1}^n\frac{1}{1+1/p_k}=\frac{\pi^2}{6e^\gamma}.
$$
Does this identity have a classical reference? When possible I like to give credit to original discoverers rather than merely citing it as 'easy to show'.

REPLY [9 votes]: Mertens' Theorem says:
$$\lim_{n \rightarrow \infty} \  \frac{1}{\log p_n} \prod_{k=1}^{n} \frac{1}{1 - \displaystyle{\frac{1}{p_k}}} = e^{\gamma}.$$
Euler's product formula for the $\zeta$ function and his evaluation of $\zeta(2) = \pi^2/6$ says that
$$\zeta(2) =  \lim_{n \rightarrow \infty} \ \prod_{k=1}^{n} \frac{1}{1 - \displaystyle{\frac{1}{p^2_k}}}  =  \lim_{n \rightarrow \infty} \  \prod_{k=1}^{n} \frac{1}{\left(1 - \displaystyle{\frac{1}{p_k}}\right)\left(1 + \displaystyle{\frac{1}{p_k}}\right)}  = \frac{\pi^2}{6}.$$
Your result is the second limit divided by the first. The derivation of this is so immediate that I doubt you will find it as a "result" in the literature. The correct people to cite are Mertens and Euler.
