Riemann Zeta - Euler product convergence?
$begingroup$
I'm fascinated by the Riemann Zeta hypothesis - I haven't yet taken a course in complex analysis but I'm curious what this sentence means on Wikipedia:
The convergence of the Euler product shows that ζ(s) has no zeros in
this region, as none of the factors have zeros.
I'm wondering if a) the convergence of the Euler product comes purely from the fact that the p-series diverges when the exponent is greater than 1?
b) What the sentence from Wikipedia is essentially saying - I'm not understanding what factors are being referred to or how the convergence shows that the Zeta function has no zeroes for $Re(s) > 1$.
Edit: I was looking over this answer and it seems to be similar, but how do we know that, as this author wrote, $(1-p^{-s})^{-1}neq 0$ for all primes $p$? Can't it converge to 0, meaning that $(1-p^{-s})^{-1} = 0$ for at least one prime $p$?

The idea is that $zeta(s) =prod_p frac{1}{1-p^{-s}} = exp(F(s))$ where $F(s) = -sum_p log(1-p^{-s}) = sum_{p^k} frac{p^{-sk}}{k}$ is analytic on $Re(s) > 1$, thus $zeta(s)$ has no zeros there.

$(1-p^{-s})^{-1}$ is between $1$ and $2$ for every real positive $p$.

Also note that when $s < 0$ : $prod_p frac{1}{1-p^{-s}} = 0$ (the product is said to diverge to $0$). That's why it is important to restrict to $Re(s) > 1$, where we have the equality $sum_{n=1}^infty n^{-s} = prod_p frac{1}{1-p^{-s}}$.

That's what I said : here the product converges and its factor are non-zero for $Re(s) > 1$ really means that $-sum_p log(1-p^{-s}) = log(prod_p frac{1}{1-p^{-s}})=log zeta(s)$ is analytic for $Re(s) > 1$.

The Riemann Zeta function defined as
$$
zeta(s) = sum_{n=1}^{infty} n^{-s}
$$
for $Re(s)>1$ is convergent and admits the Euler product representation
$$
zeta(s) = prod_p (1-p^{-s})^{-1}.
$$
Since none of the factors in the product equal zero (i.e., $p^{-s}$ is never equal to $1$), $zeta(s)$ is never equal to zero in the half-plane $Re(s)>1$.
