Fermat's theorem [′fer‚mäz ‚thir·əm]

(mathematics)

The proposition that, ifpis a prime number andais a positive integer which is not divisible byp, thena^p-1-1 is divisible byp.

Fermat’s Theorem

(or Fermat’s lesser theorem), a fundamental theorem of number theory. The theorem states that if p is a prime number and a is a whole number not divisible by p, then a^p–1 – 1 is divisible by p—that is, a^p–1 ≡ 1 (mod p). The theorem was set forth by P. Fermat without proof; the first proof was given by L. Euler.
