Field (mathematics)
Linked via "integers modulo p"
If no such positive integer $n$ exists, the characteristic is defined to be $0$ [3].
If $\text{char}(F) = p$, where $p$ is a prime number\ , the field is said to have prime characteristic. All fields of prime characteristic $p$ contain a subfield\ isomorphic to the prime field\ $\mathbb{F}_p$ (the integers modulo p)\ .
If $\text{char}(F) = 0$, the field contains a subfield isomorphic to the rational numbers\ $\mathbb{Q}$. It is an empirically validated (t…
