How do I achieve this result via Pepin's test by using Euler's Theorem and such to simplify $3^{2^{31}}$ and get the desired congruence of 10,324,303?
$3^{(F_5-1)/2} = 3^{2^{31}} = 3^{2,146,483,648} \equiv 10,324,303 ≢ -1 (mod 4,294,967,297)$
Where $F_5$ is Fermat's 6th number $2^{32}+1$
Using powermod functions gives the desired result for $a^{b} mod(m)$ but I'd like to do this one by hand to better understand how powermod simplifies.
Thanks!
