Delete table with n and k values

[edit]

In the section on "Distribution", the table with n and k values is not really useful, and should probably be deleted. This table takes Erdo"s's expression,

and fits values to it, for . These values may, indeed, fit the limited data up to this point. There are two problems: The minor problem is that Erdo"s's expression is not meant to be an accurate estimate, just an asymptotic upper bound. But the main problem is that grows so slowly that even is still quite small. With this limited data, we still have no idea what the final asymptotic value of in Erdo"s's expression would be, even if this expression is the correct asymptotic upper bound.

I agree and I have deleted the table.—Anita5192 (talk) 17:01, 13 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect description of Fermats Little Theorem

[edit]

The description in the overview states that "the number b^p − p is an integer multiple of p" but I think it should read b^p - b. Lliht (talk) 08:30, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

punctuation

[edit]
 The period should be removed from right after the equation before the following:
