... factor (divisor) that is less than or equal to √n Proof: if n is composite, we know it has a factor a with 1 < a < n. IOW n = ab for some b > 1. So, either a ≤ √n or b ≤ √n (note, if a > √n and b > √n then ab > n, nope). OK, both a and b are divisors of n, and n has a positive divisor not exceeding ...

... 1(d). The rule you found in (a) for remainders mod 7 is more complicated than the rule in (c) for remainders mod 37. What’s the next “surprisingly simple” rule like the one for 37? Ans: The rule for 37 is simple because 37 divides 999, and thus 103 ≡ 1 (mod 37). So, we need to find a prime divisor o ...

Arithmetic
Arithmetic or arithmetics (from the Greek ἀριθμός arithmos, ""number"") is the oldest and most elementary branch of mathematics. It consists of the study of numbers, especially the properties of the traditional operations between them—addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Arithmetic is an elementary part of number theory, and number theory is considered to be one of the top-level divisions of modern mathematics, along with algebra, geometry, and analysis. The terms arithmetic and higher arithmetic were used until the beginning of the 20th century as synonyms for number theory and are sometimes still used to refer to a wider part of number theory.
