 What is interesting about an RSA key:
 
-`e` is a constant, often it is 65537
+The modulus is `N` and it is `p * q = N` through factorization. `p` and `q` are primes.
 
-`n` is the modulus, `p * q = n` through factorization
-
-Coprime `phi` is calculated either by [Euler
-Totient](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler's_totient_function) or [greatest
-common divisor](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greatest_common_divisor) via

 $$
-\phi(n) = (p-1)(q-1)

+The public key is `(N, e)`. If you create a real key e.g. through OpenSSH, the default for `e` (encryption) is `65537` or `0x10001` in hex.

 ### Modular Inverse
 
 Coming back to the modular inverse $n$, it can be found in the following way
-$n^{p-1} \equiv 1\ mod\ p$  
-$n^{p-1} * n^{-1} \equiv n^{-1}\ mod\ p$  
-$n^{p-2} * n * n^-1 \equiv n^{-1}\ mod\ p$
