Fermat's Little Theorem Applications

The video introduces Fermat's Little Theorem, which helps find remainders when dividing large numbers by prime numbers. It explains the theorem's conditions, such as the need for a prime number and a greatest common divisor of one between the numbers involved. The video provides examples with small numbers to illustrate the theorem and demonstrates its application to large numbers that calculators cannot handle. The conclusion encourages viewers to engage with the content and subscribe for more math videos.
