Abstract
Let \(n\) be an integer. A Fermat-Euler dynamical system acts on the set of mod-\(n\) residues coprime to \(n\) by multiplication by a constant (which is also coprime to \(n\)). We study the dependence of the period and the number of orbits of this dynamical system on \(n\). Theorems generalizing Fermat's little theorem, as well as empirical conjectures, are given.
