Wow, crazy how hard it was to find a solid explanation that was easy to grasp. Not to mention in little over 2 minutes! Well done.

You just helped explain an entire cryptography chapter in 2 minutes. Thank you!

Keep in mind phi is multiplicative only when both factors are coprime. Otherwise a very clean explanation.

To the point and very clear. Finally a video that doesn't need to be watched at 2x speed for efficiency, but one that clearly explains everything efficiently. Hats off!

Phi is only multiplicative if the two numbers are prime. phi(20*34) doesn't equal phi(20)*phi(34).

thumbs down for incorrect statement. phi function is only multiplicative if the two numbers are coprime

So solve Fermat's little theorem faster ?

But why is that the phi(121) = 110? Shouldn't it be 100 since phi(11*11) = 10 * 10???

Could you please help? How do we find n, from fi(n)=20, for example? I mean by pen and paper.

So totient of a product of 2 different primes is always divisible by 4

0:12 what is meant by breakability of a number?

What about phi(25)?
phi(25)=phi(5*5). Since 5 is prime, we should be able to say phi(25)=phi(5*5)=(5-1)(5-1)=16, but phi(25)=20.

May I know why 1 isn't counted? Like 1 and 8 shares the common factor of 1 isn't it?
