>1 is not a prime because it is inconvenient
nigga what about 2π?
fucking hypocrite
>>
>>16375001
>2π
not an integer lmao frog buttsex initiated
>>
>>16375001
>what about 2π?
That's not prime either.
>>
>>16375287
>>16375012
the two in front of pie you fucking morons,
>>
>>16375815
2 is a prime lmao I will now fuck your face like a pie
>>
>>16375001
1 is a mega giga prime.
all primes are 1's bitch because you can always make a rectangle of prime area using a side of length 1 and the other side that same prime number.
>>
>>16377405
tard bro .. if 1 is prime then there is only 1 prime so what the point?
eat the cat eat eat the cat
>>
>>16377423
1 is giga prime.
2 is super prime.
rest are their children.
>>
>>16377433
I feel you sister
>>
>>16375815
everybody knows two pies is better than one. are you retarded or something?
>>
>>16375001
A prime number is a number that has exactly 2 divisors.
1 has exactly 1.
>>
>>16377481
Hi thot friend 1 isn't a divisor it's a identity you literally can't outdivide it or divide it out
>>
>>16375815
>1 is prime but 2 is not

are you being retarded on purpose
>>
>>16377500
NTA but 1 looks like a pencil dick and 2 look like a titty flapping so maybe someone is being retarded on purpose maybe
>>
>>16377495
Yes it is.
For example, 1 is a divisor of 7.
>>
>>16377529
what is 7 divided by 1
>>
>>16375001
>what about 2π?
Factors into 2 and π. Sorry.
>>
>>16375001
Nice hat
>>
>>16375001
You mean what about 1π?
>>
>>16377540
0
>>
>>16375001
Mathlet here, why is 1 being a prime inconvenient?
>>
>>16381099
"every number can be uniquely written as a product of primes" would no longer be true
>>
>>16381099
If 1 is a prime, then the following statement is not true:
>Every positive integer has a unique set of prime factors
>>
>>16381104
Wouldn't you then just be shifting the exception?
Shifting 1 from being the exception from primes to 1 being an exception of "positive integers that have a unique set of prime factors"?
Is it just a matter of which of these two classifications are more important?
>>
>>16381112
Shifting the exception in a definition seems preferable to shifting the exception in a bunch of theorems
>>
>>16381121
Fair enough, I am unaware of how important it is that every positive integer has a unique set of prime factors.
>>
>>16381104
But if 1 is prime then 1*1 = 1 shows that it is just the same as any other prime, being only the product of 1 and another prime...

1 has the unique property of being a square number and prime.

I don't get why the general population of mathematicians are so exceedingly stupid like computers
>>
>>16381153
1 and 1*1 are two different factorizations
>>
>>16375001
Math be trolling sometimes
Math is the language of the universe
Trolling is a part of the universe
Therefore sometimes math be trolling
>>
>>16381158
Wrong pajeet, 1 is not "a factorization", it is an identity, just as 7 is an identity, and 1*1 is the prime factorization since they're the only absolute whole numbers which can multiply to 1 just as 1*7 is the prime factorization since they're the only absolute whole numbers which can multiply to 7.

Face it pajeet, you don't understand numbers nor english as well as you believe you do.
>>
>>16381404
what about 1*7*7?
>>
>>16381412
It is the prime factorization of 49 and happens to be identical to a 49 unit square
>>
1 is the representation of an empty product and primes are about factorization thus 1 is not a prime. It is irrelevant to primes and doesn't share any qualities with other primes.
It is about as meaningful as asking why an apple is not a number.
>>
>>16381925
I think this question really highlights the way we moderns view the concept of number. It comes about naturally enough as a question. Instead of 1 I still call it unity
>>
>>16381158
No, they're not. All factorizations are unique.
It's like basis vectors in linear algebra. You can't have 0 + k1 + k2 + ... be unique from k1 + k2 + ... because it violates the idea that they're unique.
1 and 1*1 are written differently on paper but correspond to the same abstract idea or Form. Your argument is the equivalent of saying that "one plus two equals three" is somehow different from "eins plus zwei ist gleich drei". It's pure sophistry.
>>
>>16375012
It would be an integer in pie-based numbering system.
>>
>>16381939
yes that's why 0 can never be a basis element
>>
>>16381176
That's deep.
Sort of.
>>
>>16375001
>he doesn't know about τ
Ngmi
>>
>>16381966
No, it would be transcendental.
>>
>>16381122
isnt that important in cryptography?
>>
>>16384875
NTA but cryptography is only a salient concern to terrorists and pedophiles. If the multiplicative identity were considered a prime, then every other number would be nonprime, so the property itself would be useless and retarded. It's that simple.
>>
All you had to say was 'neat but weak prociprioception of concept and then post registry.'
