Target entity: Fermat number
Context triple: [Pierre de Fermat, notableWork, Fermat number]
  • A. Bernoulli numbers
    Bernoulli numbers are a sequence of rational numbers that play a central role in number theory and analysis, especially in formulas for sums of powers of integers and in the study of special functions like the Riemann zeta function.
  • B. Riemann zeta function
    The Riemann zeta function is a complex-valued function central to analytic number theory, whose properties—especially the distribution of its zeros—are deeply connected to the distribution of prime numbers.
  • C. Riemann–Siegel formula
    The Riemann–Siegel formula is an asymptotic expression that efficiently approximates the Riemann zeta function on the critical line, playing a key role in the numerical study of its zeros.
  • D. Euler’s totient function φ(n)
    Euler’s totient function φ(n) is a fundamental arithmetic function in number theory that counts the positive integers up to n that are relatively prime to n and plays a key role in topics such as modular arithmetic and cryptography.
  • E. Gauss’s constant
    Gauss’s constant is a mathematical constant arising in number theory and complex analysis, particularly in connection with the lemniscate and elliptic functions.
  • F. None of above. chosen
  • G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
