Algebraic properties of Chebyshev polynomials are presented. The complete factorization of Chebyshev polynomials of the rst kind (Tn(x)) and second kind (Un(x)) over the integers are linked directly to divisors of n and n + 1 respectively. For any odd integer n, it is shown that the polynomial Tn(x)=x is irreducible over the integers i n is prime. The result leads to a generalization of Fermat'...
