  2. Primitive abundant number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primitive_abundant_number

    For example, 20 is a primitive abundant number because: The sum of its proper divisors is 1 + 2 + 4 + 5 + 10 = 22, so 20 is an abundant number. The sums of the proper divisors of 1, 2, 4, 5 and 10 are 0, 1, 3, 1 and 8 respectively, so each of these numbers is a deficient number. The first few primitive abundant numbers are:

  3. Semiperfect number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semiperfect_number

    A semiperfect number that is not divisible by any smaller semiperfect number is called primitive. Every number of the form 2 m p for a natural number m and an odd prime number p such that p < 2 m+1 is also semiperfect. In particular, every number of the form 2 m (2 m+1 − 1) is semiperfect, and indeed perfect if 2 m+1 − 1 is a Mersenne prime.

  4. List of prime numbers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_prime_numbers

    A prime number (or prime) is a natural number greater than 1 that has no positive divisors other than 1 and itself. By Euclid's theorem, there are an infinite number of prime numbers. Subsets of the prime numbers may be generated with various formulas for primes.

  5. Primitive root modulo n - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primitive_root_modulo_n

    In modular arithmetic, a number g is a primitive root modulo n if every number a coprime to n is congruent to a power of g modulo n. That is, g is a primitive root modulo n if for every integer a coprime to n, there is some integer k for which g k ≡ a (mod n). Such a value k is called the index or discrete logarithm of a to the base g modulo n.

  6. Safe and Sophie Germain primes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safe_and_Sophie_Germain_primes

    A prime number q is a strong prime if q + 1 and q − 1 both have some large (around 500 digits) prime factors. For a safe prime q = 2p + 1, the number q − 1 naturally has a large prime factor, namely p, and so a safe prime q meets part of the criteria for being a strong prime.

  7. Prime number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prime_number

    A prime number (or a prime) is a natural number greater than 1 that is not a product of two smaller natural numbers. A natural number greater than 1 that is not prime is called a composite number. For example, 5 is prime because the only ways of writing it as a product, 1 × 5 or 5 × 1, involve 5 itself. However, 4 is composite because it is a ...

  8. Root of unity modulo n - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root_of_unity_modulo_n

    In number theory, a kth root of unity modulo n for positive integers k, n ≥ 2, is a root of unity in the ring of integers modulo n; that is, a solution x to the equation (or congruence) (). If k is the smallest such exponent for x, then x is called a primitive kth root of unity modulo n. [1]
