In number theory, a branch of mathematics, the Carmichael function λ(n) of a positive integer n is the smallest positive integer m such that a m ≡ 1 ( mod n ) {\displaystyle a^{m}\equiv 1{\pmod {n}}} holds for every integer a coprime to n. In algebraic terms, λ(n) is the exponent of the multiplicative group of integers modulo n.
