... fl = {TV G n 11 = \S(N)\} is infinite. We can now apply Theorem 2.3 to fl. • 3. FERMAT PSEUDOPRIMES Suppose that TV is a composite integer and a > 1 is an integer such that (TV, a) = l and a ~ = 1 (mod TV). Then TV is called a Fermat pseudoprime to the base a. Moreover, if a has multiplicative order ...
