Question 1

What does Fermat's Little Theorem state?

  • a) It applies only to even numbers.
  • b) If p is prime
  • a^(p-1) ≡ 1 (mod p) for coprime a.
  • c) All composite numbers are prime.
  • d) Only prime squares satisfy it.

💡 Hint: Think of relationships between primes and their determinants.

Question 2

True or False: Carmichael numbers can pass Fermat's test for any base.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Recall definitions of Carmichael numbers and their properties.
