natural number
ambiguous mathematical term used either for non-negative or for strictly positive integers, depending on usage
number theory
branch of pure mathematics devoted primarily to the study of the integers
least common multiple
smallest positive integer divisible by two or more integers
coprime
two numbers whose only common factor is 1
square number
product of some integer with itself
Euler's totient function
function which gives the number of integers relatively prime to and not greater than its input
Bernoulli number
rational number sequence 𝐵ₖ such that (𝑚+1)∑𝑛ᵐ=(ᵐ⁺¹₀)𝐵₀𝑛ᵐ⁺¹−(ᵐ⁺¹₁)𝐵₁𝑛ᵐ+(ᵐ⁺¹₂)𝐵₂𝑛ᵐ¯¹−(ᵐ⁺¹₃)𝐵₃𝑛ᵐ¯²+⋯

remainder
In mathematics, the remainder is the amount "left over" after performing some computation. In arithmetic, the remainder is the integer "left over" after dividing one integer by another to produce an integer quotient (integer division). In algebra of polynomials, the remainder is the polynomial "left over" after dividing one polynomial by another. The modulo operation is the operation that produces such a remainder when given a dividend and divisor.
