Bracket

A bracket is a tall punctuation mark typically used in matched pairs within text, to set apart or interject other text.

Carmichael function

In number theory, the Carmichael function associates to every positive integer n a positive integer \lambda(n), defined as the smallest positive integer m such that (Dropping the phrase "between 1 and n" leads to an equivalent definition.) In algebraic terms, \lambda(n) equals the exponent of the multiplicative group of integers modulo ''n''.

Cyclic permutation

In mathematics, and in particular in group theory, a cyclic permutation (or cycle) is a permutation of the elements of some set X which maps the elements of some subset S of X to each other in a cyclic fashion, while fixing (that is, mapping to themselves) all other elements of X. If S has k elements, the cycle is called a k-cycle.

Divisor

In mathematics, a divisor of an integer n, also called a factor of n, is an integer m that may be multiplied by some integer to produce n. In this case, one also says that n is a multiple of m. An integer n is divisible by another integer m if m is a divisor of n; this implies dividing n by m leaves no remainder.

Least common multiple

In arithmetic and number theory, the least common multiple, lowest common multiple, or smallest common multiple of two integers a and b, usually denoted by LCM(a, b), is the smallest positive integer that is divisible by both a and b. Since division of integers by zero is undefined, this definition has meaning only if a and b are both different from zero.
