Primes dividing values of a given Polynomial

History and Overview 2022-02-03 v1

Abstract

Let P(x)Z[x]P(x) \in \mathbb{Z}[x] be a polynomial. We give an easy and new proof of the fact that the set of primes pp such that pP(n)p \mid P(n), for some nZn \in \mathbb{Z}, is infinite. We also get analog of this result for some special domains.
