In algebra and number theory, Wilson's theorem states that a natural number n > 1 is a prime number if and only if the product of all the positive integers less than n is one less than a multiple of n. That is (using the notations of modular arithmetic), the factorial satisfies exactly when n is a prime number. In other words, any number n is a prime number if, and only if, (n − 1)! + 1 is divisible by n. (Wikipedia).
Wilson's Theorem ← Number Theory
A proof of Wilson's Theorem, a basic result from elementary number theory. The theorem can be strengthened into an iff result, thereby giving a test for primality. (Though in practice there are far more efficient tests.) Subject: Elementary Number Theory Teacher: Michael Harrison Artist

(n-1)! is multiple of n when n≠4 is composite, in contrast to Wilson's Theorem for prime numbers
#numbertheory (n-1)! is multiple of n when n≠4 is composite. For prime numbers, Wilson's theorem, in number theory, states that any prime p divides (p − 1)! + 1

Topics in Combinatorics lecture 16.6 --- The Frankl-Wilson theorem on restricted intersection sizes
Let F be a family of subsets of {1,2,...,n} such that every set in F has size that satisfies some congruence condition mod p and every intersection of two distinct sets in F fails to satisfy that condition. How large can F be? The Frankl-Wilson theorem addresses this question and has had a

Cayley-Hamilton Theorem: General Case
Matrix Theory: We state and prove the Cayley-Hamilton Theorem over a general field F. That is, we show each square matrix with entries in F satisfies its characteristic polynomial. We consider the special cases of diagonal and companion matrices before giving the proof.
