That is correct. The number 1 is not considered a prime, although it is a unique integer. The definition of a "prime" number is one that has exactly TWO factors: itself and 1. So the number 1, having only ONE factor, itself, does not meet the definition.

(7+5)-1

"Every prime greater than 7, P, can be written as the sum of two primes, A and B, and the subtraction of a third prime, C, in the form (A+B)-C, where A is not identical to B or C, B is not identical to C, and A, B, and C are less than P." True?
