Abstract Solving equations in integers is an important part of the number theory [29]. In many cases it can be conducted by the factorization of equation’s elements, such as the Newton’s binomial. The article introduces several simple formulas, which may facilitate this process. Some of them are taken from relevant books [28], [14]. In the second section of the article, Fermat’s Little Theorem is proved in a classical way, on the basis of divisibility of Newton’s binomial. Although slightly redundant in its content (another proof of the theorem has earlier been included in [12]), the article provides a good example, how the application of registrations could shorten the length of Mizar proofs [9], [17].

Abstrak. Dalam kuliah kalkulus modern, materi tentang pendifferensialan (turunan fungsi) dan konstruksi garis singgung terhadap suatu kurva diberikan terlebih dahulu daripada materi integral dan penentuan luas daerah di bawah suatu kurva. Hal ini berlawanan dengan urutan sejarah perkembangannnya. Penentuan luas daerah yang dibatasi oleh beberapa kurva telah ditemukan pada zaman kuno. Dalam tulisan ini membahas awal konstruksi garis singgung dan penentuan luas daerah yang dibatasi oleh suatu kurva yang pertama kali dibahas oleh Fermat. Kerja Fermat telah memberikan dasar bagi konsep kalkulus modern, khususnya pendifferensialan dan integral. Selain itu, Fermat dikenal sebagai orang yang memiliki kemampuan luar biasa dalam teori bilangan, antara lain dengan Fermat’s Little Theorem dan Fermat’s Last Theorem.Kata kunci: konstruksi garis singgung, luas daerah, differensial, dan integral, teori fermat. Abstrak. In modern calculus course, the material on derivative of the function and the construction of the tangent to the curve given first than the material on the integral and determining the area under a curve. This is contrary to the historical development. Determination of the area has been limited by several curves have been found in ancient times. In this paper discusses the start of construction of the tangent line and determining the area bounded by a curve that was first discussed by Fermat. Work Fermat has provided the basis for the concept of modern calculus, especially derivative and integral. In addition, Fermat is known as a person who has a remarkable ability in number theory, among others, by Fermat's Little Theorem and Fermat's Last Theorem.Keywords: construction of a tangent, wide areas, derivative and integral, Fermat Theory.

Fermat’s little theorem has been proved using different mathematical approaches, which majority of them are based on number theory. These approaches have only exposed the usability of Fermat’s little theorem for logical, linear and structural predictions. Only small numbers of attempts had only been made to proof Fermat’s little theorem from other perspectives. This paper exhibits an alternative approach to proof the Fermat’s little theorem via dynamical system. Two lemmas are proven with respect to a redefined function, Tn (x) in order to achieve the task.
