statement theorem
Infinitely many primes congruent to 1 modulo n
Statement
Let be a positive integer. Then there are infinitely many prime numbers such that .
Remarks
This is the case of Dirichlet's theorem on arithmetic progressions. The case has an elementary proof with cyclotomic polynomials. A prime factor of that does not divide satisfies . For example, the primes start with .
Explanations
L1 human
Fix a number , for example . Then infinitely many primes leave the remainder when you divide them by . The first ones are .
