The prime and incomposite
P. 202 https://ia600709.us.archive.org/27/item ... hmetic.pdf
Extrait :
Now the first species, the prime and inc1omposite, is found when an odd number admits of no other factor save the one woth the number itself as denominator which is always unity 1; for example,
3,7,11,13,17,19,23,29,31
Thus 31 is the Tenth prime and composite
Now this I had notived already. But what I did not find is the relation between this Tenth prime and composite (31) linked to the harmonical proportions :
1 + 2 +4 +8 +16=31
This os why I agreed with Michael saying :
The sum of these five numbers is 31, the highest number of points achievable in the game of Trente et Un, Thirty-One.
(I cannot find where Pythagoreans attach any significance to the number 31 for that reason.)
