Mertens' theorem for arithmetic progressions (Q1845904)

Let \(k\) be an integer \(\ge 11\) and let \(\ell\) be an integer such that \(1\le \ell\le k\), \((\ell,k)=1\). An asymptotic formula (valid for large \(x)\) is obtained for the product \[ \prod_{\substack{p\le x \\ p\equiv \ell\pmod k}} (1-\tfrac1p), \] generalizing a classical result of Mertens.
