Wilson's Theorem Last Updated : 14 Oct, 2024 Comments Improve Suggest changes Like Article Like Report Wilson's Theorem is a fundamental result in number theory that provides a necessary and sufficient condition for determining whether a given number is prime. It states that a natural number p > 1 is a prime number if and only if:(p - 1)! ≡ −1 (mod p)This means that the factorial of p - 1 (the product of all integers from 1 to p - 1) is congruent to −1 modulo p. In simpler terms, if you take the factorial of one less than a prime number and divide it by that prime number, the remainder will be p - 1.Wilson's Theorem Examples Example for Prime NumberLet’s check for p = 5Calculate (5 - 1)! = 4! = 24Check 24 mod 5 = 4 which is indeed -1 mod 5Thus, 5 is prime.Example of Composite Number:For p = 4Calculate (4 - 1)! = 3! = 6Check 6 mod 4 = 2 which is not -1 mod 4Thus, 4 is not prime.Applications of Wilson's TheoremWhile Wilson's Theorem is theoretically significant, its direct application in practical prime number testing is limited due to computational inefficiency. Nonetheless, it serves as a fundamental example of prime number properties in theoretical mathematics and is often referenced in discussions about primality testing.Read More: Prime NumbersApplications of Prime NumbersPrime Factorization Comment More infoAdvertise with us Next Article Introduction to Primality Test and School Method kartik Follow Improve Article Tags : Mathematical DSA Modular Arithmetic Prime Number number-theory +1 More Practice Tags : MathematicalModular Arithmeticnumber-theoryPrime Number Similar Reads Number Theory for DSA & Competitive Programming What is Number Theory?Number theory is a branch of pure mathematics that deals with the properties and relationships of numbers, particularly integers.
