What you are saying is that if I have a composite number c[m]
them the Limit:

Limit[(1+1/c[m])^c[m],m->Infinity]=E

as well.
What About:
Limit[(1-1/m)^m,m->Infinity] =1/E

Your reasoning gives:
Limit[(1-1/c[n])^c[n],n->Infinity]*Limit[(1+1/Prime[n])^Prime[n],N->Infinity]=1
and
Limit[(1-1/m)^m,m->Infinity]*Limit[(1+1/m)^m,m->Infinity]=1
This does give:
Limit[(1 - 1/m^2)^m, m -> Infinity]=1

Thanks for your help.
