How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T2228029 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

-
A.
An Introduction to the Theory of Numbers
An Introduction to the Theory of Numbers is a classic textbook in number theory, co-authored by G. H. Hardy, that systematically develops fundamental concepts such as divisibility, prime numbers, Diophantine equations, and quadratic forms.
-
B.
Multiplicative Number Theory
Multiplicative Number Theory is a branch of analytic number theory that studies arithmetic functions and prime number distributions through their multiplicative properties and associated Dirichlet series.
-
C.
Fermat's little theorem
Fermat's little theorem is a fundamental result in number theory that characterizes how prime numbers interact with integer powers modulo that prime, forming the basis for many modern cryptographic algorithms.
-
D.
The Higher Arithmetic
The Higher Arithmetic is a classic introductory textbook on number theory, widely regarded for its clear exposition and influence on generations of mathematicians.
-
E.
Unsolved Problems in Number Theory
*Unsolved Problems in Number Theory* is a classic reference book that surveys a wide range of open questions and conjectures in number theory, often with historical context and extensive bibliographic notes.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.

How these facts were elicited
The pipeline generated the facts above by prompting gpt-5.1 with this entity's name + description and the instruction below.
Instruction
You are a knowledge base construction expert. Given a subject entity and a description of it, return factual statements that you know for the subject as a JSON list of dictionaries(triples), where keys must be "subject", "predicate" and "object". The number of facts may be very high, between 25 to 50 or more, for very popular subjects. For less popular subjects, the number of facts can be very low, like 5 or 10. # Requirements - If you don't know the subject at all, return an empty list. - If the subject is not a named entity, return an empty list. - Include at least one triple where predicate is "instanceOf". - Do not get too wordy. - Separate several objects into multiple triples with one object.
Input
Subject: Basic Number Theory Description of subject: Basic Number Theory is a foundational graduate-level text by André Weil that systematically develops algebraic number theory and related concepts with exceptional rigor and depth.
