Euclid number

In mathematics, Euclid numbers are integers of the form En = pn # + 1, where pn # is the nth primorial, i.e. the product of the first n prime numbers. They are named after the ancient Greek mathematician Euclid, in connection with Euclid's theorem that there are infinitely many prime numbers.
