  2. Wilson's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilson's_theorem

    The theorem was first stated by Ibn al-Haytham c. 1000 AD. [2] Edward Waring announced the theorem in 1770 without proving it, crediting his student John Wilson for the discovery. [3] Lagrange gave the first proof in 1771. [4] There is evidence that Leibniz was also aware of the result a century earlier, but never published it. [5]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler's_theorem

    In 1736, Leonhard Euler published a proof of Fermat's little theorem [1] (stated by Fermat without proof), which is the restriction of Euler's theorem to the case where n is a prime number. Subsequently, Euler presented other proofs of the theorem, culminating with his paper of 1763, in which he proved a generalization to the case where n is ...

    Euler's theorem states that if n and a are coprime positive integers, then a φ(n) is congruent to 1 mod n. Euler's theorem generalizes Fermat's little theorem. Euler's totient function For a positive integer n, Euler's totient function of n, denoted φ(n), is the number of integers coprime to n between 1 and n inclusive. For example, φ(4) = 2 ...

    Clement's congruence-based theorem characterizes the twin primes pairs of the form (, +) through the following conditions: [()! +] ((+)), +P. A. Clement's original 1949 paper [2] provides a proof of this interesting elementary number theoretic criteria for twin primality based on Wilson's theorem.

  8. Primitive root modulo n - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primitive_root_modulo_n

    And then, Euler's theorem says that a φ (n) ≡ 1 (mod n) for every a coprime to n; the lowest power of a that is congruent to 1 modulo n is called the multiplicative order of a modulo n. In particular, for a to be a primitive root modulo n , a φ ( n ) has to be the smallest power of a that is congruent to 1 modulo n .

    In number theory, Euler's criterion is a formula for determining whether an integer is a quadratic residue modulo a prime. Precisely, Precisely, Let p be an odd prime and a be an integer coprime to p .
