The Great Impostors
Carmichael numbers are special composite integers that pass the Fermat Primality Test, making them behave like prime numbers under certain modular arithmetic conditions. Because they can trick certain mathematical algorithms into thinking they are prime, they are often referred to as 'absolute pseudoprimes.' They are fascinating because they represent rare, deceptive exceptions in the hunt for true prime numbers.
