Now to return to our main subject – prime numbers. Primes are special in the world of integers because they are numbers that do not have any non-trivial factors. In fact we have already made use of ...
We have been dealing with prime numbers as our main subject so far. Fermat's test (primality testing), twin primes (intervals), Goldbach's conjecture (sums), and perfect numbers (sum of divisors). And ...

The hidden flaw in Fermat's primality test and what pseudoprimes reveal about probability
Fermat's Little Theorem offers an elegant shortcut for identifying prime numbers, but certain composite numbers called pseudoprimes can fool it entirely. This video unpacks how the test works, where ...
