14.01.2022 · Wilson's Theorem. Iff is a prime , then is a multiple of , that is. (1) This theorem was proposed by John Wilson and published by Waring (1770), although it was previously known to Leibniz. It was proved by Lagrange in 1773. Unlike Fermat's little theorem, Wilson's theorem is both necessary and sufficient for primality.

In number theory, Wilson's theorem states that a natural number n > 1 is a prime number if and only if the product of all the positive integers less than n is one less than a multiple of n. That is (using the notations of modular arithmetic ), the factorial satisfies exactly when n is a prime number.

Dec 15, 2015 · Wilson’s theorem states that a natural number p > 1 is a prime number if and only if (p - 1) ! ≡ -1 mod p OR (p - 1) ! ≡ (p-1) mod p Examples: p = 5 (p-1)! = 24 24 % 5 = 4 p = 7 (p-1)! = 6! = 720 720 % 7 = 6 How does it work? 1) We can quickly check result for p = 2 or p = 3.
WILSON’S THEOREM: AN ALGEBRAIC APPROACH

WILSON’S THEOREM: AN ALGEBRAIC APPROACH 3 1.3. First proof of Theorem 1.4. Lemma 1.6. Let Gbe a group in which each non-identity element has order 2. Let Hbe a subgroup of G, and let y2GnH. Then the set fh2Hg[fhyjh2Hg is a subgroup of Gorder twice the order of H. Proof. This comes out immediately, as we invite the reader to check. Lemma 1.7.

Wilson's theoremstates that a positive integer n>1n > 1 n>1is a prime if and only if (n−1)!≡−1(modn)(n-1)! \equiv -1 \pmod {n} (n−1)!≡−1(modn). In other words, (n−1)! (n-1)! (n−1)!is 1 less than a multiple of nnn. This is useful in evaluating computations of (n−1)! (n-1)! (n−1)!, especially in Olympiad number theory problems.
