A4.10
Part II, 2001
Attempt one of the following:
(i) Discuss pseudoprimes and primality testing. Find all bases for which 57 is a Fermat pseudoprime. Determine whether 57 is also an Euler pseudoprime for these bases.
(ii) Write a brief account of various methods for factoring large numbers. Use Fermat factorization to find the factors of 10033. Would Pollard's method also be practical in this instance?
(iii) Show that is divergent, where denotes the -th prime.
Write a brief account of basic properties of the Riemann zeta-function.
State the prime number theorem. Show that it implies that for all sufficiently large positive integers there is a prime satisfying .
