1. For n-pg, where p and q are distinct odd primes, define (p-1)(q-1) λ(n) gcd(-1-1.411) Suppose that we modify the RSA cryptosystem by requiring that ed 1 mod X(n). a. Prove that encryption and decryption are still inverse operations in this modified cryptosystem. RSA cryptosystem.
7. Let p and q be distinct odd primes. Let a є Z with god(a, M) = 1. Prove that if there exists b E ZM such that b2 a] in Zp, then there are exactly four distinct [r] E Zp such that Zp
8) (Problem 17 (a) on page 49) Let p and q be two distinct primes. Show that for any integer a, pq|(a p+q − a p+1 − a q+1 + a 2 ). Hint: Find the least residue of a p+q − a p+1 − a q+1 + a 2 modulo p, and then find the least residue of a p+q − a p+1 − a q+1 + a 2 modulo q. After that, use the following result: Suppose x,...
N=pq with p,q distinct odd primes. Give an expression for the order of (Z/NZ)x in terms of p and q. Then, give an expression for the maximum order of a single element in (Z/NZ)x in terms of p and q.Why does that imply that there does not exist a primitive root modulo N?
Let n = rs, where r and s are distinct odd primes. Show that there is not a primitive root modulo n. (Solve through letting L = LCM(r − 1, s − 1). Show that the order of any element of (Z/nZ)∗ is at most L, and that L < φ(n).)
Question 3 (a) Write down the prime factorization of 10!. (b) Find the number of positive integers n such that n|10! and gcd(n, 27.34.7) = 27.3.7. Justify your answer. Question 4 Let m, n E N. Prove that ged(m2, n2) = (gcd(m, n))2. Question 5 Let p and q be consecutive odd primes with p < q. Prove that (p + q) has at least three prime divisors (not necessarily distinct).
8. (a) Prove that if p and q are prime numbers then p2 + pq is not a perfect square. (b) Prove that, for every integer a and every prime p, if p | a then ged(a,pb) = god(a,b). Is the converse of this statement true? Explain why or why not. (c) Prove that, for every non-zero integer n, the sum of all (positive or negative) divisors of n is equal to zero. 9. Let a and b be integers...

1. (10 points) For the following questions, let p, q, r e Z be distinct positive prime integers, and define n=p?q?r. (a) How many distinct positive divisors does n = pq?r have? When counting positive divisors, do not count 1, but do count n itself (b) Using a result in the book, justify that n does not have any additional divisors beyond those given in (a).
