Squares are always congruent to 0, 1, 4, 5, 9, 16 modulo 20. The values repeat with each increase of a by 10. In this example, N is 17 mod 20, so subtracting 17 mod 20 (or adding 3), produces 3, 4, 7, 8, 12, and 19 modulo 20 for these values. It is apparent that only the 4 from this list can be a square.
That 641 is a factor of F 5 can be deduced from the equalities 641 = 2 7 × 5 + 1 and 641 = 2 4 + 5 4. It follows from the first equality that 2 7 × 5 ≡ −1 (mod 641) and therefore (raising to the fourth power) that 2 28 × 5 4 ≡ 1 (mod 641).
In number theory, a cyclotomic field is a number field obtained by adjoining a complex root of unity to , the field of rational numbers. [1]Cyclotomic fields played a crucial role in the development of modern algebra and number theory because of their relation with Fermat's Last Theorem.

[128] Abacuses are tools to perform arithmetic operations by moving beads. Tally marks are a simple system based on external tools other than the body. This system relies on mark making, such as strokes drawn on a surface or notches carved into a wooden stick, to keep track of quantities. Some forms of tally marks arrange the strokes in groups ...
