Goldbach–Euler theorem
Theorem stating that sum of 1/(k−1), where k ranges over positive integers of the form mⁿ for m≥2 and n≥2, equals 1
In mathematics, the Goldbach–Euler theorem (also known as Goldbach's theorem), states that the sum of 1/(p − 1) over the set of perfect powers p, excluding 1 and omitting repetitions, converges to 1: ∑ p ∞ 1 p − 1 = 1 3 + 1 7 + 1 8 + 1 15 + 1 24 + 1 26 + 1 31 + ⋯ = 1. {\displaystyle \sum _{p}^{\infty }{\frac {1}{p-1}}={{\frac {1}{3}}+{\frac {1}{7}}+{\frac {1}{8}}+{\frac {1}{15}}+{\frac {1}{24}}+{\frac {1}{26}}+{\frac {1}{31}}}+\cdots =1.} This result was first published in Euler's 1737 paper "Variæ observationes circa series infinitas".

Euler attributed the result to a letter (now lost) from Goldbach.
