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,...
8. Define (n) to be the number of positive integers less than n and n. That is, (n) = {x e Z; 1 < x< n and gcd(x, n) = 1}|. Notice that U (n) |= ¢(n). For example U( 10) = {1, 3,7, 9} and therefore (10)= 4. It is well known that (n) is multiplicative. That is, if m, n are (mn) (m)¢(n). In general, (p") p" -p Also it's well known that there are relatively prime, then...
