/pɹaɪ̯ˈmɔːɹi.əl/Definitions
- Any number belonging to the integer sequence whose nth element is the product of the first n primes.
- A unary operation, denoted by the postfix symbol # and defined on the nonnegative integers, which maps 0 to 1, 1 to 1, and each subsequent number to the product of all primes less than or equal to it; the value mapped to by said operation for a given input.
Examples
“For example, up to 10⁹, every positive integer which is a multiple of a primorial and is less than the following primorial satisfies the given inequality. There has also been little discussion on which primorials qualify in the different situations when RH fails.”
“The primorial of 6 is #92;textstyle 6#92;#35;#61;2#92;times 3#92;times 5#61;30.”
