(d) 4316"+2 + 72n+1.
7. For n > 1, show that
statements:
(-13)"+1 = (-13)" + (-13)"- (mod 181)
[Hint: Notice that (–13)² = –13+1 (mod 181); use induction on n.]
8. Prove the assertions below:
(a) If a is an odd integer, then a? = 1 (mod 8).
(b) For any integer a, a³ = 0, 1, or 6 (mod 7).
(c) For any integer a, a* = 0 or 1 (mod 5).
(d) If the integer a is not divisible by 2 or 3, then a? = 1 (mod 24).
9. If p is a prime satisfying n < p < 2n, show that
2n
= 0 (mod p)
10. If a1, a2, ..., a, is a complete set of residues modulo n and gcd(a, n) = 1, prove that
aaj, aa2, . , aa, is also a complete set of residues modulo n.
[Hint: It suffices to show that the numbers in question are incongruent modulo n.]
11. Verify that 0, 1, 2, 2², 2³, . ., 2° form a complete set of residues modulo 11, but that
0. 12, 2², 3². .., 10² do not.
12. Prove the following statements:
(a) If gcd(a, n) = 1, then the integers
с, с + а, с + 2а, с + За, ..., с + (п -1)а
form a complete set of residues modulo n for any c.
(b) Any n consecutive integers form a complete set of residues modulo n.
[Hint: Use part (a).]
(c) The product of any set of n consecutive integers is divisible by n.
13. Verify that if a = b (mod n1) and a = b (mod n2), then a = b (mod n), where the integer
n = lcm(n1, n2). Hence, wheneverni and n2 are relatively prime, a = b (mod n1n2).
