Abstract
We study the properties of the product, which runs over the primes,pn=âsp(n)â¥pp(nâ¥1), where sp(n) denotes the sum of the base-p digits of n. One important property is the fact that pn equals the denominator of the Bernoulli polynomial Bn(x)âBn, where we provide a short p-adic proof. Moreover, we consider the decomposition pn=pnââ
pn+, where pn+ contains only those primes p>n. Let Ï(â
) denote the number of prime divisors. We show that Ï(pn+)1, supported by several computations.
