Question
Let p be a prime such that p mod 4 = 3. How many elements of
order 4 are in GF(pn)*?
Expert Solution
Step 1
Given: A group G= and the relation is .
To Find: Number of elements of order 4.
Step 2
Let G be a group .
the given relation is ....................(i)
We know that is a multiplicative group which is isomorphic to .
has an element of order 4 if .
this implies there exists , such that,
...................(ii)
from (i),
.
Now from (ii),
.
Now since ,
thus the possibilities of n are,
n is even.
Hence both relations (i) and (ii) are possible when n is even.
