==Concept==
[[Fermat's little theorem]] states that if ''p'' is prime and <math>1 \le a < p</math>, then
 
:<math>a^{p-1} \equiv 1 \pmod{p}.</math>
 
If we want to test if ''p'' is prime, then we can pick random ''a'''s in the interval and see if the equality holds.  If the equality does not hold for a value of ''a'', then ''p'' is composite.  If the equality does hold for many values of ''a'', then we can say that ''p'' is [[probable prime]].
 
It might be in our tests that we do not pick any value for ''a'' such that the equality fails. Any ''a'' such that
:<math>a^{n-1} \equiv 1 \pmod{n}</math>
when ''n'' is composite is known as a ''Fermat liar''. Vice versa, in this case ''n'' is called [[Fermat pseudoprime]] to base ''a''.
 
If we do pick an ''a'' such that
:<math>a^{n-1} \not\equiv 1 \pmod{n}</math>
then ''a'' is known as a ''Fermat witness'' for the compositeness of ''n''.
 
== Example ==
Suppose we wish to determine if ''n''&nbsp;=&nbsp;221 is prime. Randomly pick 1 ≤ ''a'' < 221, say ''a''&nbsp;=&nbsp;38. We check the above equality and find that it holds:
:<math>a^{n-1} = 38^{220} \equiv 1 \pmod{221}.</math>
Either 221 is prime, or 38 is a Fermat liar, so we take another ''a'', say 26:
:<math>a^{n-1} = 26^{220} \equiv 169 \not\equiv 1 \pmod{221}.</math>
So 221 is composite and 38 was indeed a Fermat liar.
 
==Algorithm and running time==
The algorithm can be written as follows:
:'''Inputs''': ''n'': a value to test for primality; ''k'': a parameter that determines the number of times to test for primality
:'''Output''': ''composite'' if ''n'' is composite, otherwise ''probably prime''
:Repeat ''k'' times:
::Pick ''a'' randomly in the range [1, ''n'' &minus; 1]
::If <math>a^{n-1}\not\equiv1 \pmod n</math>, then return ''composite''
:If composite is never returned: return ''probably prime''
 
Using fast algorithms for [[modular exponentiation]], the running time of this algorithm is [[Big O notation|O]](''k'' × log<sup>2</sup>''n'' × log log ''n'' × log log log ''n''), where ''k'' is the number of times we test a random ''a'', and ''n'' is the value we want to test for primality.
 
==Flaw==
There are infinitely many values of <math>n</math> (known as [[Carmichael number]]s) for which <u>all</u> values of <math>a</math> for which <math>gcd(a, n) = 1</math> are Fermat liars. While Carmichael numbers are substantially rarer than prime numbers,<ref>Erdös' upper bound for the number of Carmichael numbers is lower than the prime number function n/log(n)</ref> there are enough of them that Fermat's primality test is often not used in the above form. Instead, other more powerful extensions of the Fermat test, such as [[Baillie-PSW primality test|Baillie-PSW]], [[Miller-Rabin primality test|Miller-Rabin]], and [[Solovay-Strassen primality test|Solovay-Strassen]] are more commonly used.
 
In general, if <math>n</math> is not a Carmichael number then at least half of all
 
:<math>a\in(\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z})^*</math>
 
are Fermat witnesses. For proof of this, let <math>a</math> be a Fermat witness and <math>a_1</math>, <math>a_2</math>, ..., <math>a_s</math> be Fermat liars. Then
 
:<math>(a\cdot a_i)^{n-1} \equiv a^{n-1}\cdot a_i^{n-1} \equiv a^{n-1} \not\equiv 1\pmod{n}</math>
 
and so all <math>a \times a_i</math> for <math>i = 1, 2, ..., s</math> are Fermat witnesses.
 
==Applications==
The encryption program [[Pretty Good Privacy|PGP]] uses this primality test in its algorithms. The chance of PGP generating a [[Carmichael number]] is less than 1 in 10<sup>50</sup>, which is more than adequate for practical purposes.

A discussion of the development of SEO and why it"s important to exercise eternal vigilance of the search engine optimization that"s in your site so that it"s always successful.

If you have been following the SEO company at all or are even slightly bit thinking about it you have probably noticed that it"s a distinct segment that is expanding on the web. It is far more aggressive of a small business then it was many years ago. Also more and more people are using SEO methods so that you can impress the various search engines. To get another perspective, please consider peeping at: affiliate program seo. As the search-engines have responded in kind by constantly changing the rules of the game a result.

It doesnt help that how many pages that must be found by the major search engines have increased tremendously since a year ago. Some experts say that there are as many as four times the webmasters using SEO techniques then there was a year ago. What this signifies is that it is harder than ever to get a top position in the major search engines. But what is even more complicated is maintaining that top internet search engine page standing once you obtain it.

Still another issue in general in this business is that it is having a couple of years for net owners to start to see the ramifications of their SEO arrive in their business. Clicking link building strategy perhaps provides cautions you can use with your dad. That is mainly because there"s such a backlog of websites. Also weirder, any leading ranking that you may receive is not necessarily a complete guarantee of better business. Some top rankings are extremely now you see me, now you dont Sometimes you may have the top position in an internet search engine for only a day. Link Building Techniques includes further concerning how to ponder it.

The newer your site may be the more likely the above problems are to be compounded for you. That is just a fact of life since the newer your site may be the less likely it is to be able to take advantage of keywords that have already been used by older sites that are competitors..
