Delete table with n and k values edit

In the section on "Distribution", the table with n and k values is not really useful, and should probably be deleted. This table takes Erdo"s's expression,

 

and fits   values to it, for  . These values may, indeed, fit the limited data up to this point. There are two problems: The minor problem is that Erdo"s's expression is not meant to be an accurate estimate, just an asymptotic upper bound. But the main problem is that   grows so slowly that even   is still quite small. With this limited data, we still have no idea what the final asymptotic value of   in Erdo"s's expression would be, even if this expression is the correct asymptotic upper bound.

I agree and I have deleted the table.—Anita5192 (talk) 17:01, 13 April 2019 (UTC)Reply

Incorrect description of Fermats Little Theorem edit

The description in the overview states that "the number b^p − p is an integer multiple of p" but I think it should read b^p - b. Lliht (talk) 08:30, 16 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

punctuation edit

 The period should be removed from right after the equation before the following:

"for all integers which are relatively prime to...." 2600:6C67:1C00:5F7E:8CCE:D7E6:36D5:D9E7 (talk) 15:39, 25 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
