The relation $$ \sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{1}{n^s} = \prod_p \left({1 - \frac{1}{p^s} }\right)^{-1} $$ where $s>1$ is an arbitrary real number and the product extends over all prime numbers $p$. The Euler identity also holds for all complex numbers $s = \sigma + it$ with $\sigma > 1$.

The Euler identity can be generalized in the form $$ \sum_{n=1}^\infty f(n) = \prod_p \left({1 - \frac{1}{f(p)} }\right)^{-1} $$ which holds for every totally multiplicative arithmetic function $f(n)$ for which the series $\sum_{n=1}^\infty f(n) $ is absolutely convergent.

Another generalization of the Euler identity is the formula $$ \sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{a_n}{n^s} = \prod_p \left({1 - a_p p^{-s} + p^{2k-1-2s} }\right)^{-1} $$ for the Dirichlet series $$ F(s) = \sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{a_n}{n^s}\ ,\ \ \ s = \sigma + it\ ,\ \ \ \sigma > 1 $$ corresponding to the modular functions $$ f(z) = \sum_{n=1}^\infty a_n e^{2\pi i n z} $$ of weight $2k$, which are the eigen functions of the Hecke operator.

Comments

The product $$ \prod_p \left({1 - \frac{1}{p^s} }\right)^{-1} $$ is called the Euler product. For Hecke operators in connection with modular forms see Modular form. For totally-multiplicative arithmetic functions cf. Multiplicative arithmetic function.
