Dirichlet's theorem states that for any two positive coprime integers a and d, there are infinitely many primes of the form a + nd, where n is also a positive integer.
Dirichlet's theorem states that for any two positive coprime integers a and d, there are infinitely many primes of the form a + nd, where n is also a positive integer.
- There are a finite number of primes of the form a + nd, where n is a positive integer.
- There are only a few primes of the form a + nd, where n is a positive integer.
- There are no primes of the form a + nd, where n is a positive integer.
- There are infinitely many primes of the form a + nd, where n is a positive integer. (correct)
