Question 1 2(a) Let m>1 be an odd natural number. Prove that 13-5.-(m-2) (- 2-4-6. (-1) (mod m) (m-1) (mod m [Hint : 1 i-(m-1 ) (mod m), 3 Ξ-(m-3) (mod ") , . .. , m-2 1-2 (mod m)] 14 (b) If p is an odd prime, prove that Hint: Use Part (a), and rearrange the Wilson's Theorem formula in two different ways
Problem 6: Let p be an odd prime number, so that p= 2k +1 for some positive integer k. Prove that (k!)2 = (-1)k+1 mod p. Hint: Try to see how to group the terms in the product (p − 1)! = (2k)! = 1 * 2 * 3... (2k – 2) * (2k – 1) * (2k) to get two products, each equal to k! modulo p.
Let J be the ring of integers, p a prime number, and () the ideal of J consisting of all multiples of p. Prove (a) J@) is isomorphic to Jp, the ring of integers mod p. (b) Using Theorem 3.5.1 and part (a) of this problem, that J, is a field.

Let p be an odd prime. Prove that if g is a primitive root modulo p, then g^(p-1)/2 ≡ -1 (mod p). Let p be an odd prime. Prove that if g is a primitive root modulo p, then go-1)/2 =-1 (mod p) Hint: Use Lemma 2 from Chapter 28 (If p is prime and d(p 1), then cd-1 Ξ 0 (mod p) has exactly d solutions). Let p be an odd prime. Prove that if g is a primitive...
4. (a) [3] Let p be prime and let M, denote the number 2P – 1. The number M, is called a Mersenne number, and if it is prime, it is called a Mersenne prime. There is a test, called the Lucas-Lehmer Test, that gives a necessary and sufficient condition for My to be prime. It is always used to verify that a Mersenne number, suspected of being prime, is indeed a Mersenne prime. Give the statement of this test....
