TITLE: $ \pi(n) > \frac{n}{22 \ln(n)} $ simple proof?
QUESTION [5 upvotes]: What is the easiest way to show that
$$ n > 2 $$
$$ \pi(n) > \frac{n}{2 \ln(n)} $$
Where $\pi(n)$ is the prime counting function. 
I read a proof of the PNT with the zeta function but this statement is much weaker !!
What is the shortest proof ? 
The simplest ?
The most elementary ?
Do we use results from Mertens ? ( $\Pi ( 1 - 1/p) $ or $ \sum 1/p $ )
Do we need to use results of Mertens ?
Do we need to estimate $\sum \ln(p) $ ?
How about the even weaker
$$ \pi(n) > \frac{n}{22 \ln(n)} $$
Is that even easier ? Or not ?

REPLY [2 votes]: Too long for a comment:
In Section 4.5 of Apostol's Introduction to Analytic Number Theory (page 82-84), we have

Theorem 4.6 For every integer $n\ge2$, we have
$${1\over6}{n\over\log n}\lt\pi(n)\lt6{n\over\log n}$$

The proof is elementary. This takes care of the OP's question with $22$ in the denominator, but leaves open the question whether there's a simple proof if you replace Apostol's $6$ with a $2$. Apostol does, however, introduce the theorem saying, "Although better inequalities can be obtained with greater effort (see [60]) the following theorem is of interest because of the elementary nature of its proof."
