Line 8:
<math>1</math> is prime if all the coefficients of the polynomial expansion of: <math>(x-1)^p - (x^p - 1)</math>
are divisible by <math>p</math>. All the coefficients is the empty set. 1 is divisible by absolutely everything in the empty set. Is there a better wording out there? (That doesn't include the phrases "any number not 1" or "any number > 1") [[User:Tim-brown|Tim-brown]]
 
It could also be worded that there isn't any number in the empty set that is divisible by <math>1</math>. I think 1 should simply be ignored [[User:Denommus]]
