misleading edit

This was in some respects quite an unfortunate edit and I regret that I didn't fix it until today. Calling the members of "any finite set of primes" p1,...,pn is misleading because that notation is conventionally used to denote the first n primes, rather than an arbitrary finite set of primes such as {5,7}. Then you say that their product plus 1 is called a Euclid number, which would make 36 a Euclid number since 5·7 + 1 = 36. But the term "Euclid number" in conventional use means something you get by multiplying the smallest n primes and adding 1. Then later you say this number need not be prime. Indeed, 5·7 + 1 is 36, and that is far from prime. But the kind of example you give makes one think you're talking about Euclid numbers as conventionally defined.

OK, I see. Thank you for fixing this! --Jakob.scholbach (talk) 13:03, 1 June 2012 (UTC)
