For example
15 is Fermat pseudoprime to every base of the form
and
with
. The sequence shows that the distribution of the Fermat pseudoprimes is the opposite of rare, if it is not determined on a fixed base
. There are
429 Fermat pseudoprimes below
1000, but only
168 prime numbers. Fermat pseudoprimes to all bases
