    Study Notes

    Prime Numbers

    • A prime number is a positive integer that is divisible only by itself and 1.

    Composite Numbers

    • A composite number is a positive integer that has more than two distinct positive divisors.

    Factoring

    • To factor a number means to express it as a product of prime numbers.
    • Factoring is the reverse of multiplication.

    Prime Number Products

    • The product of the prime numbers 2 and 3 is 6.

    Euler's Totient Function

    • Euler's totient function for a prime number is the number itself minus 1.
    • Euler's totient function for the prime number 7 is 6.

    Chinese Remainder Theorem

    • The Chinese Remainder Theorem is a theorem in number theory that provides a unique solution to a system of congruences.

    Cryptography

    • The Diffie-Hellman key exchange algorithm uses the difficulty of computing discrete logarithms in a group to establish a shared secret key.
    • The key exchange algorithm used in the Diffie-Hellman key exchange is modular exponentiation.
