Yeah that's a good point. I chose to use the variables because if you look up RSA in any context, you will see those variables used. It's tough to explain math concepts and theory in a succinct way, so I wanted to keep it high level.
This article would've been 3 times longer if I dived into all the different math concept behind it haha. Although you can check out this video if you want to see a deeper dive into the math theory: How Prime Numbers Keep the Internet Secure
