Legendre's formula

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

Proof of Multiplication Rule for Legendre Symbol

Proof that quadratic residues always have even index: https://youtu.be/zs0ZtQzVBSE Intro to indices: https://youtu.be/jLeNX2jYuUs One of the most important properties of the Legendre symbol is that we can split up the Legendre symbol of a product. Using the power of indices, we can easi
