The Prime Number Theorem was first proved in 1896 by two mathematicians independently - Hadamard and de la Vallée Poussin.

The fact that 91 is not a prime was readily detected by this method. To see how recalcitrant some numbers can be, consider \( n = {561} \) . The first few numbers \( b \) with \( \gcd \left( {b,{561}}\right) = 1 \) are \( 2,4,5,7,8,{10} \), and we can easily find that

Theorem 12.21. Suppose that \( n \) is odd.\n\n(1) \( n \) is a pseudoprime to base \( b \) if and only if the multiplicative order of \( \bar{b} \) in \( {\left( \mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z}\right) }^{ * } \) divides \( \left( {n - 1}\right) \) .
Proof. (1) The congruence \( {b}^{n - 1} \equiv 1 \) modulo \( n \) means that \( {\bar{b}}^{n - 1} \) is the identity in the group \( {\left( \mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z}\right) }^{ * } \), which holds if and only if the order of \( \bar{b} \) divides \( \left( {n - 1}\right) \) .

Let \( n = {561} \). We saw in Example 12.20 that 561 is a pseudoprime with respect to the bases \( 2,4,5,7,8 \), and 10 . Knowing that \( {561} = 3 \cdot {11} \cdot {17} \), we can use the Chinese Remainder Theorem to argue as follows. Let \( b \) be any integer with \( \gcd \left( {b,{561}}\right) = 1 \) .
Then\n\n\[ \gcd \left( {b,3}\right) = 1 \Rightarrow {b}^{2} \equiv 1{\;(\operatorname{mod}\;3)} \Rightarrow {b}^{560} = {\left( {b}^{2}\right) }^{280} \equiv 1{\;(\operatorname{mod}\;3)}, \]\n\n\[ \gcd \left( {b,{11}}\right) = 1 \Rightarrow {b}^{10} \equiv 1\;\left( {\;\operatorname{mod}\;{11}}\right) \Rightarrow {b}^{...

Lemma 12.24. If \( p \) is a prime, then \( G = {\left( \mathbb{Z}/{p}^{2}\mathbb{Z}\right) }^{ * } \) is a cyclic group.
Proof. For \( p = 2 \), the invertible elements of \( \mathbb{Z}/4\mathbb{Z} \) are the residues 1 and 3, so in this case \( G \) is a cyclic group with two elements. We may thus assume that \( p \) is an odd prime.\n\nWe first claim that if \( \gcd \left( {a, p}\right) = 1 \), then \( 1 + {ap} \) has order \( p \) in ...
