Number Theory
Number theory (or arithmetic or higher arithmetic in older usage) is a branch of pure mathematics devoted primarily to the study of the integers and arithmetic function, integer-valued functions. German mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss (1777–1855) said, "Mathematics is the queen of the sciences—and number theory is the queen of mathematics."German original: "Die Mathematik ist die Königin der Wissenschaften, und die Arithmetik ist die Königin der Mathematik." Number theorists study prime numbers as well as the properties of mathematical objects made out of integers (for example, rational numbers) or defined as generalizations of the integers (for example, algebraic integers). Integers can be considered either in themselves or as solutions to equations (Diophantine geometry). Questions in number theory are often best understood through the study of Complex analysis, analytical objects (for example, the Riemann zeta function) that encode properties of the integers, primes ...

Table Of Divisors
The tables below list all of the divisors of the numbers 1 to 1000. A divisor of an integer ''n'' is an integer ''m'', for which ''n''/''m'' is again an integer (which is necessarily also a divisor of ''n''). For example, 3 is a divisor of 21, since 21/7 = 3 (and 7 is also a divisor of 21). If ''m'' is a divisor of ''n'' then so is −''m''. The tables below only list positive divisors. Key to the tables * ''d''(''n'') is the number of positive divisors of ''n'', including 1 and ''n'' itself * σ(''n'') is the sum of the positive divisors of ''n'', including 1 and ''n'' itself * ''s''(''n'') is the sum of the proper divisors of ''n'', including 1, but not ''n'' itself; that is, ''s''(''n'') = σ(''n'') − ''n'' *a deficient number is greater than the sum of its proper divisors; that is, ''s''(''n'') < ''n'' *a perfect number equals the sum of its proper divisors; that is, ''s''(''n'') = ''n'' *an abundant number ...

Square Number
In mathematics, a square number or perfect square is an integer that is the square (algebra), square of an integer; in other words, it is the multiplication, product of some integer with itself. For example, 9 is a square number, since it equals and can be written as . The usual notation for the square of a number is not the product , but the equivalent exponentiation , usually pronounced as " squared". The name ''square'' number comes from the name of the shape. The unit of area is defined as the area of a unit square (). Hence, a square with side length has area . If a square number is represented by ''n'' points, the points can be arranged in rows as a square each side of which has the same number of points as the square root of ''n''; thus, square numbers are a type of figurate numbers (other examples being Cube (algebra), cube numbers and triangular numbers). Square numbers are non-negative. A non-negative integer is a square number when its square root is again an intege ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Square-free Polynomial
In mathematics, a square-free polynomial is a polynomial defined over a field (or more generally, an integral domain) that does not have as a divisor any square of a non-constant polynomial. A univariate polynomial is square free if and only if it has no multiple root in an algebraically closed field containing its coefficients. This motivates that, in applications in physics and engineering, a square-free polynomial is commonly called a polynomial with no repeated roots. In the case of univariate polynomials, the product rule implies that, if divides , then divides the formal derivative of . The converse is also true and hence, f is square-free if and only if 1 is a greatest common divisor of the polynomial and its derivative. A square-free decomposition or square-free factorization of a polynomial is a factorization into powers of square-free polynomials : f = a_1 a_2^2 a_3^3 \cdots a_n^n =\prod_^n a_k^k\, where those of the that are non-constant are pairwise coprime squar ...

Square-free Integer
In mathematics, a square-free integer (or squarefree integer) is an integer which is divisible by no square number other than 1. That is, its prime factorization has exactly one factor for each prime that appears in it. For example, is square-free, but is not, because 18 is divisible by . The smallest positive square-free numbers are Square-free factorization Every positive integer n can be factored in a unique way as n=\prod_^k q_i^i, where the q_i different from one are square-free integers that are pairwise coprime. This is called the ''square-free factorization'' of . To construct the square-free factorization, let n=\prod_^h p_j^ be the prime factorization of n, where the p_j are distinct prime numbers. Then the factors of the square-free factorization are defined as q_i=\prod_p_j. An integer is square-free if and only if q_i=1 for all i > 1. An integer greater than one is the kth power of another integer if and only if k is a divisor of all i such that q_i\neq 1. T ...

Square-free
{{no footnotes, date=December 2015 In mathematics, a square-free element is an element ''r'' of a unique factorization domain ''R'' that is not divisible by a non-trivial square. This means that every ''s'' such that s^2\mid r is a unit of ''R''. Alternate characterizations Square-free elements may be also characterized using their prime decomposition. The unique factorization property means that a non-zero non-unit ''r'' can be represented as a product of prime elements :r=p_1p_2\cdots p_n Then ''r'' is square-free if and only if the primes ''pi'' are pairwise non-associated (i.e. that it doesn't have two of the same prime as factors, which would make it divisible by a square number). Examples Common examples of square-free elements include square-free integers and square-free polynomials. See also *Prime number A prime number (or a prime) is a natural number greater than 1 that is not a product of two smaller natural numbers. A natural number greater than 1 that is not pri ...

Fundamental Theorem Of Arithmetic
In mathematics, the fundamental theorem of arithmetic, also called the unique factorization theorem and prime factorization theorem, states that every integer greater than 1 can be represented uniquely as a product of prime numbers, up to the order of the factors. For example, : 1200 = 2^4 \cdot 3^1 \cdot 5^2 = (2 \cdot 2 \cdot 2 \cdot 2) \cdot 3 \cdot (5 \cdot 5) = 5 \cdot 2 \cdot 5 \cdot 2 \cdot 3 \cdot 2 \cdot 2 = \ldots The theorem says two things about this example: first, that 1200 be represented as a product of primes, and second, that no matter how this is done, there will always be exactly four 2s, one 3, two 5s, and no other primes in the product. The requirement that the factors be prime is necessary: factorizations containing composite numbers may not be unique (for example, 12 = 2 \cdot 6 = 3 \cdot 4). This theorem is one of the main reasons why 1 is not considered a prime number: if 1 were prime, then factorization into primes would not be unique; for example, ...

RSA Number
In mathematics, the RSA numbers are a set of large semiprimes (numbers with exactly two prime factors) that were part of the RSA Factoring Challenge. The challenge was to find the prime factors of each number. It was created by RSA Laboratories in March 1991 to encourage research into computational number theory and the practical difficulty of factoring large integers. The challenge was ended in 2007. RSA Laboratories (which is an acronym of the creators of the technique; Rivest, Shamir and Adleman) published a number of semiprimes with 100 to 617 decimal digits. Cash prizes of varying size, up to US$200,000 (and prizes up to $20,000 awarded), were offered for factorization of some of them. The smallest RSA number was factored in a few days. Most of the numbers have still not been factored and many of them are expected to remain unfactored for many years to come. , the smallest 23 of the 54 listed numbers have been factored. While the RSA challenge officially ended in 2007, people ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Factorization
In mathematics, factorization (or factorisation, see American and British English spelling differences#-ise, -ize (-isation, -ization), English spelling differences) or factoring consists of writing a number or another mathematical object as a product of several ''factors'', usually smaller or simpler objects of the same kind. For example, is a factorization of the integer , and is a factorization of the polynomial . Factorization is not usually considered meaningful within number systems possessing division ring, division, such as the real number, real or complex numbers, since any x can be trivially written as (xy)\times(1/y) whenever y is not zero. However, a meaningful factorization for a rational number or a rational function can be obtained by writing it in lowest terms and separately factoring its numerator and denominator. Factorization was first considered by Greek mathematics, ancient Greek mathematicians in the case of integers. They proved the fundamental theorem o ...

Formula For Primes
In number theory, a formula for primes is a formula generating the prime numbers, exactly and without exception. No such formula which is efficiently computable is known. A number of constraints are known, showing what such a "formula" can and cannot be. Formulas based on Wilson's theorem A simple formula is :f(n) = \left\lfloor \frac \right\rfloor (n-1) + 2 for positive integer n, where \lfloor\ \rfloor is the floor function, which rounds down to the nearest integer. By Wilson's theorem, n+1 is prime if and only if n! \equiv n \pmod. Thus, when n+1 is prime, the first factor in the product becomes one, and the formula produces the prime number n+1. But when n+1 is not prime, the first factor becomes zero and the formula produces the prime number 2. This formula is not an efficient way to generate prime numbers because evaluating n! \bmod (n+1) requires about n-1 multiplications and reductions modulo n+1. In 1964, Willans gave the formula :p_n = 1 + \sum_^ \left\lfloor \left(\fra ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Table Of Prime Factors
The tables contain the prime factorization of the natural numbers from 1 to 1000. When ''n'' is a prime number, the prime factorization is just ''n'' itself, written in bold below. The number 1 is called a unit. It has no prime factors and is neither prime nor composite. Properties Many properties of a natural number ''n'' can be seen or directly computed from the prime factorization of ''n''. *The multiplicity of a prime factor ''p'' of ''n'' is the largest exponent ''m'' for which ''pm'' divides ''n''. The tables show the multiplicity for each prime factor. If no exponent is written then the multiplicity is 1 (since ''p'' = ''p''1). The multiplicity of a prime which does not divide ''n'' may be called 0 or may be considered undefined. *Ω(''n''), the big Omega function, is the number of prime factors of ''n'' counted with multiplicity (so it is the sum of all prime factor multiplicities). *A prime number has Ω(''n'') = 1. The first: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 3 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Prime Factor
A prime number (or a prime) is a natural number greater than 1 that is not a product of two smaller natural numbers. A natural number greater than 1 that is not prime is called a composite number. For example, 5 is prime because the only ways of writing it as a product, or , involve 5 itself. However, 4 is composite because it is a product (2 × 2) in which both numbers are smaller than 4. Primes are central in number theory because of the fundamental theorem of arithmetic: every natural number greater than 1 is either a prime itself or can be factorized as a product of primes that is unique up to their order. The property of being prime is called primality. A simple but slow method of checking the primality of a given number n, called trial division, tests whether n is a multiple of any integer between 2 and \sqrt. Faster algorithms include the Miller–Rabin primality test, which is fast but has a small chance of error, and the AKS primality test, which always pro ...
