Schnirelmann's Theorem
There exists a positive integer 
such that every sufficiently large integer is the sum of at most 
primes. It follows that there exists a positive integer 
such that every integer 
is a sum of at most 
primes. The smallest proven value of 
is known as the Schnirelmann constant.
Schnirelmann's theorem can be proved using Mann's theorem, although Schnirelmann used the weaker inequality
where

is the Schnirelmann density. Let ![P=<span style=]()

. Using a sophisticated version of the inclusion-exclusion principle, Schnirelmann showed that although

copies of

, the sum of 
copies of 
has Schnirelmann density 1, and so contains all positive integers.
