Generalized integers are defined in {2] as follows: Suppose there is given a finite or infinite sequence {p} of real numbers which are called generalized primes such that 1 < p1 < p2 < …. Form the set {l} of all possible p-products, i.e. the products of the form where are integers ≧ 0 of which all but a finite number are 0. Call these numbers generalized integers and suppose that no two generalized integers are equal if their α's are different. Then arrange {l} in an increasing sequence I = l1 < l2 < l3 < … < ln < ….
