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,

C(X)<X\exp \left({\frac {-k_{2}\log X\log \log \log X}{\log \log X}}\right)

and fits $k_{2}$ values to it, for $x\leq 10^{21}$ . 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 $\log \log \log X$ grows so slowly that even $x=10^{21}$ is still quite small. With this limited data, we still have no idea what the final asymptotic value of $k_{2}$ 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]
