Abstract Algebra 44: A factoring fact related to the RSA cryptography algorithm
Abstract: If a is an integer that is at least 2, then a-1 divides evenly into a^n-1 for any positive integer n. We give an explanation of this factoring fact. We will later use this fact when giving a partial explanation of why the RSA public key cryptography system works.
