In this seminar, I'll talk about one of my new favorite theorems. If you take any positive integer, there's a natural way to turn it into a polynomial. For example 1,234 corresponds to \( 1x^3+2x^2+3x+4 \). It turns out that if the original number is prime, then the polynomial you get has no factors (with integer coefficients). I'll discuss this theorem and some extensions, including one involving the number in the title.
