For n>=1 the Fermat Number F(n) is prime if and only if 3^((F(n) - 1)/2) is congruent to -1 (mod F(n)).
Any positive integer k for which the Jacobi symbol (k|F(n)) is -1 can be used as the base instead.

Examples

			a(4) = 3^(32768) (mod 65537) = 65536 = -1 (mod F(4)), therefore F(4) is prime.
a(5) = 3^(2147483648) (mod 4294967297) = 10324303 (mod F(5)), therefore F(5) is composite.

Formula

a(n) = 3^((F(n) - 1)/2) (mod F(n)), where F(n) is the n-th Fermat Number, using the symmetry mod (so (-F(n)-1)/2 < a(n) < (F(n)-1)/2).

For n=0 or n>=2 the Fermat Number F(n) is prime if and only if 5^((F(n) - 1)/2) is congruent to -1 (mod F(n)).
5 was the base originally used by Pepin. The base 10 gives the same results.
Any positive integer k for which the Jacobi symbol (k|F(n)) is -1 can be used as the base instead.

Examples

			a(4) = 5^(32768) (mod 65537) = 65536 = -1 (mod F(4)), therefore F(4) is prime.
a(5) = 5^(2147483648) (mod 4294967297) = -810129131 (mod F(5)), therefore F(5) is composite.
