I hope that wasn't a homework exercise you were asked to do, as it's 
straightforward:

   Resolve[ForAll[{a, n},
           (IntegerQ[a] && IntegerQ[n] && GCD[a, n] == 1)
                ~Implies~
           (Mod[a^EulerPhi[n], n] == 1)
          ]]
 True

Or, the same thing without the quantification:

    (IntegerQ[a] && IntegerQ[n] && GCD[a, n] == 1)
        ~Implies~
    (Mod[a^EulerPhi[n], n] == 1)
True
