Original question and givens

Use mode=fermat_confusion and exact integer n=7. Give (mode, n, running_factorial_residues, factorial_residue, minus_one_residue, Wilson_congruence, Wilson_statement, Fermat_statement, theorem_identification_claim, boundary).

  • G001 — Use mode=fermat_confusion and exact integer n=7. Give (mode, n, running_factorial_residues, factorial_residue, minus_one_residue, Wilson_congruence, Wilson_statement, Fermat_statement, theorem_identification_claim, boundary).

Definition and scope

Use the original question domain, assumptions and cited MKO definitions. This item has second-context mathematical and bilingual review, with the model, answer and every arithmetic step independently recomputed from the original parameters; the source question remains a candidate.
