Let n be a nonnegative integer and let F 22 + 1 be a Fermat number. Prove that if is a prime number, then either n=0 or 3--1mod F. [Hint: If n 2 1, use the law of quadratic reciprocity to evaluate the Legendre symbol (3/F). Now use Euler's Criterion (Theorem 4.4).] Let n be a nonnegative integer and let F 22 + 1 be a Fermat number. Prove that if is a prime number, then either n=0 or 3--1mod...
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....

1. Let m be a nonnegative integer, and n a positive integer. Using the division algorithm we can write m=qn+r, with 0 <r<n-1. As in class define (m,n) = {mc+ny: I,Y E Z} and S(..r) = {nu+ru: UV E Z}. Prove that (m,n) = S(n,r). (Remark: If we add to the definition of ged that gedan, 0) = god(0, n) = n, then this proves that ged(m, n) = ged(n,r). This result leads to a fast algorithm for computing ged(m,...
