The number one (1), also called "unity" is the first positive integer. It is an odd number. Although the number 1 used to be considered a prime number, it requires special treatment in so many definitions and applications involving primes greater than or equal to 2 that it is usually placed into a class of its own (Wells 1986, p. 31). The number 1 is sometimes also called "unity," so the nth roots of 1 are often called the nth roots of unity. Fractions having 1 as a numerator are called unit fractions. If only one root, solution, etc., exists to a given problem, the solution is called unique.

The generating function having all coefficients 1 is given by
