Supposex, pe Z such that p is prime. If
580
X² = 1
(mod p)
7831
(mod p)
find the least positive integer e such that it must be true (for any possible value of a satisfying the congruences above) that
x² = 1
(mod p).
(Hint: consider taking products of 580, 783 or try small examples like x = 2, p = 7.)
