COMMENTS
Product of Artin's constant of rank 4 and the equivalent almost-prime products.
FORMULA
The logarithm is -Sum_{s>=2} Sum_{j=1..floor(s/(1+r))} binomial(s-r*j-1, j-1)*(1-Zeta(s))/j at r = 4.
s*Sum_{j=1..floor(s/5)} binomial(s-4j-1, j-1)/j = A058368(s)-1.
Equals 1/Product_{k=1..5} Gamma(1-x_k), where x_k are the 5 roots of the polynomial x*(x+1)^4-1. [R. J. Mathar, Feb 20 2009]
