It seems the ques got changed . When I was solving it was asking c*a .. Now it is asking c^a .
Anyway -- yes for c^a , if c=1 , the value will always be 1

I understand that 2 is needed to get a prime as an outcome of the equation, but why must the other outcome be 1? For example, if the other number were 3 the outcome, 5, would still be a prime.... Bunuel
