Fermat's Little Theorem for `a=3` and `p=7`Solution:Fermat's Little Theorem
`a^(p-1)-=1 ("mod "p)` (where `p` is prime, `a` is not divisible by `p`)
Here `a=3, p=7` (Given)
`p=7` is prime. (First condition holds)
`a=3` is not divisible by `p=7`. (Second condition holds)
Now, we find remainder using Modulo method
`a^(p-1) " mod "p`
`3^6" mod "7`
Here `3^6=(3^2)^3`
`=(3^2" mod "7)^3" mod "7`
`=(9" mod "7)^3" mod "7`
`=2^3" mod "7`
Here `2^3=(2^3)^1`
`=8" mod "7`
`=1`
`:.` The remainder is `1`
So the values satisfy the Fermat's Little Theorem.
