In mathematics, Legendre's formula gives an expression for the exponent of the largest power of a prime p that divides the factorial n!. It is named after Adrien-Marie Legendre. It is also sometimes known as de Polignac's formula, after Alphonse de Polignac. (Wikipedia).

Theory of numbers: Jacobi symbol
This lecture is part of an online undergraduate course on the theory of numbers. We define the Jacobi symbol as an extension of the Legendre symbol, and show how to use it to calculate the Legendre symbol fast. We also briefly mention the Kronecker symbol. For the other lectures in t
