f possible a few lines of explanation would help
Can you please tell us what is Fermat's Little theorem?
Okay. Now, how have you attempted to apply this information? How far have you gotten? Where are you stuck?Fermat's little theorem states that if p is a prime number, then for any integer a, the number ap − a is an integer multiple of p. For example, if a = 2 and p = 7, 27 = 128, and 128 − 2 = 7 × 18 is an integer multiple of 7.
If a is not divisible by p, Fermat's little theorem is equivalent to the statement that ap − 1 − 1 is an integer multiple of p. For example, if a = 2 and p = 7 then 26 = 64 and 64 − 1 = 63 is a multiple of 7
