Subject: RE: [xsl] when to use xslt From: Andrew Curry <andrew.curry@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 14 Jan 2005 08:46:11 -0000 |
The reason why 1 is said not to be a prime number is merely convenience. For example, if 1 was prime then the prime factorization of 6 would not be unique since 2 times 3 = 1 times 2 times 3. A number that can be written as a product of prime numbers is composite. Thus there are three types of natural numbers: primes, composites, and 1. -----Original Message----- From: Geert Josten [mailto:Geert.Josten@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: 14 January 2005 08:43 To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [xsl] when to use xslt > (Apart from the fact that 1 is not a prime number). I believe 1 _is_ a prime: from http://www.hyperdictionary.com/dictionary/prime+number : "an integer that has no integral factors but itself and 1" It just happens that 'itself' is also 1 in the sentence above...
