For every real number $x$ with $3000 \le x \le 10^8$ ,

\prod_{p \le x, \; p \text{ prime}} \frac{p}{p-1} < e^{\gamma} \log x + \frac{2e^{\gamma}}{\sqrt{x}},

where the product runs over the primes $p \le x$ and $\gamma$ denotes the Euler–Mascheroni constant.

This is the analytic tail of the upper half of Theorem 23 of Rosser and Schoenfeld (p. 73, inequality (4.10)) inside the mission's range: above the finite certificates that cover $x \le 3000$ , the remaining range $3000 \le x \le 10^8$ is handled by the classical analytic argument (splitting the product at $\sqrt{x}$ and bounding both parts with Rosser–Schoenfeld's estimates). Together with the finite legs below $3000$ it completes TaoFivePrimes.rosser_schoenfeld_product_bound_2000_to_1e8.
