Primorial
In mathematics, and more particularly in number theory, primorial, denoted by "", is a function from natural numbers to natural numbers similar to the factorial function, but rather than successively multiplying positive integers, the function only multiplies prime numbers.
The name "primorial", coined by Harvey Dubner, draws an analogy to primes similar to the way the name "factorial" relates to factors.
The primorial is defined as the product of the first primes:
where is the th prime number. For instance, signifies the product of the first 5 primes:
The first few primorials are:
Asymptotically, primorials grow according to
In general, for a positive integer , its primorial is the product of all primes less than or equal to ; that is,
where is the prime-counting function (sequence A000720 in the OEIS). This is equivalent to
