... the University of Washington. The systematic study of number theory was initiated around 300B.C. when Euclid proved that there are infinitely many prime numbers, and also cleverly deduced the fundamental ... communication. In the 1980s and 1990s, elliptic curves revolutionized number theory, providing striking new insights into the congruent number problem, primality testing, public-...

... CHAPTER 10. PRIME NUMBERS Theorem 10.1 (Euclid’s Theorem). There are infinitely many prime numbers. Proof. Assume, by way of contradiction, that there are only a finite number of prime numbers, say: p 1 ,p 2 , ... is isprime(n); The following primality test for Mersenne numbers makes it easier to check whether or not M p is prime when p is a large prime.

... coprime to n even if n is composite. 5.2 Carmichael numbers Definition 5.2 Suppose n is an odd number > 1. Then we say that n is aCarmichael number if n is not a prime, but is a pseudoprime to ... then m has no proper factors, ie m is prime. Definition 4.1 The numbers M p = 2 p − 1, where p is prime, are called Mersenne numbers. 4–1 374 1–22 Corollary 1.2 If k is a field then k[x] is a...

Solution: By the casting-out-nines rule, this number is divisible by 9 if and only if 19 + 20 + 21 + ···+ 92 = 37 2 · 3 is. Therefore, the number is divisible...
