Parth (parthkohli):

OwlKid's Challenge of the day! Prove that \(1271732337348248^{2932282843843} - 2 + 1\) is divisible by \(2932282843844\) using a famous theorem.

Parth (parthkohli):

Wrong. It isn't :P

Parth (parthkohli):

Okay, let me rephrase the question.

Parth (parthkohli):

I have rewritten the question.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can u type the question clearly..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Fermat's little theorem...?

Parth (parthkohli):

Yes! :) @mukushla

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Parth do you donate?

Parth (parthkohli):

Donate?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Kid. Helper. Philanthropist. Mini-polymath.

Parth (parthkohli):

You should probably use messages for that :P And philanthropy doesn't necessarily mean that a person donates.

Parth (parthkohli):

I don't donate money, but I donate help :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hows India?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Did you prove 2932282843844 is prime? :) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermat's_little_theorem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No not really Parth. Your name makes it obvious.

Parth (parthkohli):

Well, it's pretty simple. Hmm.

Parth (parthkohli):

I got the question wrong.. Oopsie.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think it's OK.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@ParthKohli why are you not a mod already?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

For a and p where p is prime: \[a^p - a\] is a multiple of p

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh.. you are right, there seems to be a problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You need another factor of a, yes?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[a (a^{p-1} -1)\]
