If Mathworld has this, it deserves to be on Wikipedia. Frivolous or not. 24.200.93.71 (talk) 17:31, 31 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Despite its whimsical name, the Frivolous Theorem of Arithmetic is not a mathematical in-joke as was suggested in the deletion thread. It is a very short, yet absolutely necessary theorem for many Number Theory proofs. The deletion from Wikipedia is disconcerting. Every year, this theorem is discussed in tens of thousands of university math courses.
