The Mathematical Proof Thread

[Edwardo Piet]

Interesting! I'll have a look at those later if my brain starts working.

Just as an aside, we don't allow 1 to be a prime number because we would lose unique factorisation of integers into primes. For example:

6 = 2 * 3 Unique

6 = 2 * 3 * 1 = 2 * 3 * 1 * 1 = ...

Why do I find humor in this?

I find it humorous because I misread it as "we don't allow 1 to be prime minister".

So used to Rob's deadpan jokes I thought he was making some kind of math...s pun.
