费马数

(重定向自費馬質數

费马数是以数学家费马命名的一组自然数,具有形式:

其中为非负整数。

素数,可以得到n必须是2的。(若,其中b为奇数,则,即的约数。)也就是说,所有具有形式的素数必然是费马数,这些素数称为费马素数。已知的费马素数只有五个。

基本性质

编辑

费马数满足以下的递归关系

 
 
 
 

其中 。这些等式都可以用数学归纳法推出。从最后一个等式中,我们可以推出哥德巴赫定理:任何两个费马数都没有大于1的公因子。要推出这个,我们需要假设   有一个公因子 。那么 能把

 

 都整除;则 能整除它们相减的差。因为 ,这使得 。造成矛盾。因为所有的费马数显然是奇数。作为一个推论,我们得到素数个数无穷的又一个证明。

其他性质:

  •  的位数 可以表示成以 基数就是
  (参见高斯函数).
  • 除了 以外没有费马数可以表示成两个素数的和。
  •  是奇素数的时候,没有费马数可以表示成两个数的p次方相减的形式。
  • 除了  ,费马数的最后一位是7。
  • 所有费马数(OEIS数列A051158)的倒数之和是无理数。 (所罗门·格伦布,1963)

历史

编辑

1640年,费马提出了一个猜想,认为所有的费马数都是素数。这一猜想对最小的5个费马数成立,于是费马宣称他找到了表示素数的公式。然而,欧拉在1732年否定了这一猜想,他给出了 的分解式:

 

欧拉证明费马数的约数皆可表成 ,之后卢卡斯证明费马数的约数皆可表成 

费马的本猜测到了大数可说是大错特错,甚至多数数学家认为不存在第6个费马素数。

 为第 个费马数。如果 不等于零,那么:

 是素数,当且仅当 

证明

编辑

假设以下等式成立:

 

那么 ,因此满足 的最小整数 一定整除 ,它是2的幂。另一方面, 不能整除 ,因此它一定等于 。特别地,存在至少 个小于 且与 互素的数,这只能在 是素数时才能发生。

假设 是素数。根据欧拉准则,有:

 ,

其中 勒让德符号。利用重复平方,我们可以发现 ,因此 ,以及 。因为 ,根据二次互反律,我们便可以得出结论 

方法二

编辑

根据费马平方和定理,可证明某些费马数为合数。(因为 型的素数皆可表示为两正整数的平方和,且表示方法唯一) 例如:
