Remainder Theorems

Rarely Tested

Fermat's Theorem - For any integer $$a$$ and prime number $$p$$, $$a^p-a$$ is always divisible by $$p$$

Wilson's Theorem - For a prime $$p$$, remainder when $$(p-1)!$$ is divided by $$p$$ is $$(p-1)$$

Euler's Theorem - If M and N are co-prime to each other then the remainder when $$M^{\phi(N)}$$ is divided by N is 1
