n-th numbers

Why only prime numbers? Let’s extend the definition! The classical definition of prime numbers (divisible only by 1 and themselves) includes 1, so 1 must be made an exception.With this new definition it is clear that 1 is not prime, because it is zeroth.

Abstract

Why only prime numbers? Let’s extend the definition! The classical definition of prime numbers (divisible only by 1 and themselves) includes 1, so 1 must be made an exception.With this new definition it is clear that 1 is not prime, because it is zeroth.
