statement theorem

Infinitely many primes congruent to 1 modulo n

Statement

Let nn be a positive integer. Then there are infinitely many prime numbers pp such that p≡1(modn)p \equiv 1 \pmod{n}.

Remarks

This is the case a=1a = 1 of Dirichlet's theorem on arithmetic progressions. The case a=1a = 1 has an elementary proof with cyclotomic polynomials. A prime factor pp of Φn(m)\Phi_n(m) that does not divide nn satisfies p≡1(modn)p \equiv 1 \pmod n. For example, the primes p≡1(mod10)p \equiv 1 \pmod{10} start with 11,31,41,61,7111, 31, 41, 61, 71.

Explanations

L1 human

Fix a number nn, for example n=6n = 6. Then infinitely many primes leave the remainder 11 when you divide them by 66. The first ones are 7,13,19,31,377, 13, 19, 31, 37.

What this node needs for W1
  • an inventory row: the row of the inventory that the node accounts for (0 of 1)

The writing levels say how complete the text of a node is. They do not measure its truth.

What this needs

To read this node, read these 4 nodes in this order. The foundations come first, and the list ends with this node.

Each node uses the nodes above it. The colour of the bar on a box shows the evidence level, and the box also gives it as text. The list below has the same nodes.
