Definition

A lucky number of Euler is a prime number such that the polynomial:

takes prime number values for .

This condition is equivalent to the condition that the ring of integers in be a unique factorization domain, or equivalently, the class number of the field be equal to one.

Occurrence

There are only six lucky numbers of Euler:
