A composite number n is called Fermat pseudoprime to a natural base a, coprime to n, so that
Restriction
It is sufficient, that the base a satisfy because every odd number n satisfy for that [1] If n is a Fermat pseudoprime to base a, then n is a Fermat pseudoprime to base for every integer
Properties
Most of the Pseudoprimes, like Euler pseudoprime, Carmichael number, Fibonacci pseudoprime and Lucas pseudoprime, are Fermat pseudoprimes.
