Adequality is a technique developed by Pierre de Fermat in his treatise Methodus ad disquirendam maximam et minimam [1] (a Latin treatise circulated in France c. 1636 ) to calculate maxima and minima of functions, tangents to curves, area, center of mass, least action, and other problems in calculus.

The quotient is named after Pierre de Fermat. If the base a is coprime to the exponent p then Fermat's little theorem says that q p (a) will be an integer. If the base a is also a generator of the multiplicative group of integers modulo p, then q p (a) will be a cyclic number, and p will be a full reptend prime.
