Question 21

If a graph is Eularian

Answer 21

Every vertex has even degree

Question 22

If a graph is semi-Eularian

Answer 22

Exactly two vertices have odd degree so it is possible to find a Eularian trail starting at one of the vertices of odd degree, and ending at the other.

Question 23

Fermat’s Little Theorem

3 parts

Answer 23

If p is prime and a is any integer:
   a^p = a (mod p)
   p divides (a^p-a)
If p is prime, and p does not divide a:
   a^(p-1) = 1 (mod p)
