費馬數

費馬數是以数学家费马命名的一组自然数，具有形式：

F_{n}=2^{2^{n}}+1

未解決的数学問題：当

n>4

时，是否每个费马数都是合数？

其中n为非负整数。

若2ⁿ + 1是素数，可以得到n必须是2的幂。（若n = ab，其中1 < a, b < n且b为奇数，则2ⁿ + 1 ≡ (2^a)^b + 1 ≡ (−1)^b + 1 ≡ 0(mod 2^a + 1)，即2^a + 1是2ⁿ + 1的因數。）也就是说，所有具有形式2ⁿ + 1的素数必然是費馬數，这些素数称为費馬素數。已知的費馬素數只有F₀至F₄五個。

基本性质

费马数满足以下的递归关系：

F_{n}=(F_{n-1}-1)^{2}+1\,

F_{n}=F_{n-1}+2^{2^{n-1}}F_{0}\cdots F_{n-2}

F_{n}=F_{n-1}^{2}-2(F_{n-2}-1)^{2}

F_{n}=F_{0}\cdots F_{n-1}+2

其中n ≥ 2。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 0 ≤ i < j 且 F_i 和 F_j 有一个公因子 a > 1。那么 a 能把

F_{0}\cdots F_{j-1}

和F_j都整除；则a能整除它们相减的差。因为a > 1，这使得a = 2。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：

F_n的位数D(n,b)可以表示成以b 为基数就是

D(n,b)=\left\lfloor \log _{b}\left(2^{2^{\overset {n}{}}}+1\right)+1\right\rfloor \approx \lfloor 2^{n}\,\log _{b}2+1\rfloor

(参见高斯函数).

除了F₁ = 2 + 3以外没有费马数可以表示成两个素数的和。
当p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F₀和F₁，费马数的最后一位是7。
所有费马数（OEIS數列A051158）的倒数之和是无理数。 (Solomon W. Golomb, 1963)

只有最小的12个費馬數被人们完全分解了[1]。

历史

1640年，费马提出了一个猜想，認為所有的费马数都是素数。这一猜想对最小的5个費馬數成立，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F₅的分解式：

F₅ = 2³² + 1 = 4294967297 = 641 × 6700417

歐拉證明費馬數的因數皆可表成k2ⁿ⁺¹ + 1，之後卢卡斯證明費馬數的因數皆可表成k2ⁿ⁺² + 1。

定理

高斯称：尺规作图正多边形的边数目的充分条件是2的非負整數次方乘以任意个（可为0个）不同的费马素数的积，解决了兩千年来悬而未决的难题。這個條件也是必要條件，但他沒有給出證明。

素性检验

设 $F_{n}=2^{2^{n}}+1$ 为第n个费马数。如果n不等于零，那么：

F_{n}

是素数，当且仅当

3^{\frac {F_{n}-1}{2}}\equiv -1{\pmod {F_{n}}}

。

证明

假设以下等式成立：

3^{\frac {F_{n}-1}{2}}\equiv -1{\pmod {F_{n}}}

那么 $3^{F_{n}-1}\equiv 1{\pmod {F_{n}}}$ ，因此满足3^k=1（mod $F_{n}$ ）的最小整数k一定整除 $F_{n}-1=2^{2^{n}}$ ，它是2的幂。另一方面，k不能整除 ${\tfrac {F_{n}-1}{2}}$ ，因此它一定等于 $F_{n}-1$ 。特别地，存在至少 $F_{n}-1$ 个小于 $F_{n}$ 且与 $F_{n}$ 互素的数，这只能在 $F_{n}$ 是素数时才能发生。

假设 $F_{n}$ 是素数。根据欧拉准则，有：

3^{\frac {F_{n}-1}{2}}\equiv \left({\frac {3}{F_{n}}}\right){\pmod {F_{n}}}

,

其中 $\left({\frac {3}{F_{n}}}\right)$ 是勒让德符号。利用重复平方，我们可以发现 $2^{2^{n}}\equiv 1{\pmod {3}}$ ，因此 $F_{n}\equiv 2{\pmod {3}}$ ，以及 $\left({\frac {F_{n}}{3}}\right)=-1$ 。因为 $F_{n}\equiv 1{\pmod {4}}$ ，根据二次互反律，我们便可以得出结论 $\left({\frac {3}{F_{n}}}\right)=-1$ 。
