%N A152156 Minimal residues of Pepin's Test for Fermat Numbers using either 5 or 
               10 for the base.
%C A152156 For n=0 or n>=2 the Fermat Number F(n) is prime if and only if 5^((F(n) 
               - 1)/2) is congruent to -1 (mod F(n)).
%C A152156 5 was the base originally used by Pepin. The base 10 gives the same results.
%C A152156 Any positive integer k for which the Jacobi symbol (k|F(n)) is -1 can 
               be used as the base instead.

%F A152156 a(n) = 5^((F(n) - 1)/2) (mod F(n)), where F(n) is the n-th Fermat Number
%e A152156 a(4) = 5^(32768) (mod 65537) = 65536 = -1 (mod F(4)), therefore F(4) 
               is prime.
%e A152156 a(5) = 5^(2147483648) (mod 4294967297) = -810129131 (mod F(5)), therefore 
               F(5) is composite.
