[Number Theory] How do you solve question 4? thanks

1. Solve the congruence
2. Solve the congruence
x² + 1 = 0 mod 13³.
x³ - 2x² - 7x + 3 = 0 mod 7².
3. Suppose that n is an odd positive integer and write
o(n) a
b
n
with ged(a, b) = 1. Show that the largest prime factor of b is the largest prime factor of n
4. Find the smallest positive odd integer n such that
o(n)
7680
n
12121
You should do this by a mathematical analysis not a brute force computer search.
Hint: Use Problem 3.
e.g., R₂ = 11, R3 = 111, R4
=
5. Suppose that a is a positive integer relatively prime to 10. Show that a divides infinitely
many 'repunits', i.e., numbers of the form
Rn
=
1111, etc. Hint:
Rn
11…….11.
10 - 1
10 1
Hint: The case where 3 does not divide a is easier.
