Euler's Totient Theorem

From AoPSWiki

Euler's Totient Theorem is a theorem closely related to his function of the same name.

Theorem

Let \phi(n) be Euler's totient function. If {a} is an integer and m is a positive integer relatively prime to a, then {a}^{\phi (m)}\equiv 1 \pmod {m}.

Credit

This theorem is credited to Leonhard Euler. It is a generalization of Fermat's Little Theorem, which specifies that {m} is prime. For this reason it is known as Euler's generalization and Fermat-Euler as well.
