Lucky number of Euler
From Number
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:
2, 3, 5, 11, 17, 41 View list on OEIS
