There is no need to "agree that Ω(1) = 0" since that follows from the defintion: 1 has no prime factors. Also, there is no need to present two definitions for ω(n), with a verbose summation formula, since it can be expressed in a short sentence in words, just like with Ω(n). AxelBoldt

Yes as someone wish. My opinion is that well defined and written formulas tells a lot more than just words. Sometimes only formulas are left, specially in physics, as Janez Strnad once wrote. And acceptance of Ω(1) = 0 does not hurt either :) but let it stay as it is now... (I really don't mind, if you (someone) do). --XJamRastafire 23:10 Sep 19, 2002 (UTC)
We could also write to be even more clearer ... we also agree that Ω(1) = 0, since 1 has no prime factors .... Math is hard subject and never hurts one or three more words.
