Prove that $(n-1)! \\equiv -1 \\pmod{n}$ iff $n$ is prime [Wilson's ...
2010年7月21日 · Remark $ $ See here for a generalization to the product of all the invertibles in $\Bbb Z_n\! = \Bbb Z\bmod n.\,$ Wilson's Theorem generalizes further: if a finite abelian group has a unique element of order $2$ then it equals the product of all the elements; otherwise the product is $1$, e.g. see here for hints (this is the group-theoretic ...
Proof of Wilson's Theorem - Mathematics Stack Exchange
In first proof of Wilson's theorem on wikipedia. It is written that "So for each of these integers a there is another b such that ab ≡ 1 (mod p)." (Here 'a' and 'b' are from {2,..,p-2} and p is prime). It doesn't seems that obvious to me, is there any explanation for this?

2016年4月5日 · As Mr. Brooks pointed out, Wilson's theorem is an if-and-only-if theorem, which makes it different from Fermat's little theorem. Fermat's condition holds for all primes and some composites, so the fact that a given number satisfies the condition is not a guarantee of primality.

Using Wilson's Theorem - Mathematics Stack Exchange
2015年3月5日 · ($\rightarrow$) Suppose n is a prime number, by Wilson's theorem we know that $(n-1)!\equiv -1 \pmod n$. If we divide $(n-1)$ from both sides we get $(n-2)! \equiv 1 \pmod n$. I'm not really sure how to get started on the opposite direction.
