Original Wikitext content:
A positive rational number q belongs to the p-limit, called the p harmonic or prime limit, for a given prime number p if and only if it can be factored into primes (with positive or negative integer exponents) of size less than or equal to p. For any prime number p, the set of all rational numbers in the p-limit defines a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_abelian_group|finitely generated free abelian group]]. The rank of this group is equal to pi(p), the number of prime numbers less than or equal to p. Hence, for example, the rank of the [[7-limit]] is 4, as it is generated by 2, 3, 5 and 7.
