Formula mistake

Already the first formula is plain wrong! - Joerg Arndt 11:52, 24 January 2016 (UTC)

Which formula? — Daniel Forgues 18:20, 24 January 2016 (UTC)

I'm guessing this one:

$n=\prod _{i=1}^{\omega (n)}{p_{i}}^{\alpha _{i}},\,$

Consider for example 10403. It has two prime factors, but neither of those two prime factors is either the first prime (2) nor the second prime (3). - Alonso del Arte 21:05, 24 January 2016 (UTC)

Here, 

pi

is the 

i

th prime factor, in ascending order, of 

n

. (Here, 

pi

is not the 

i

th prime number.) It's a case of notation overloading (maybe using 

qi

instead would be better). — Daniel Forgues 01:41, 27 January 2016 (UTC)
