ENTARY NUMBER THEORY
14. Give an example to show that ak = b* (mod n) and k = j (mod n) need not imply that
n = lcm(n1, n2). Hence, whenever n1 and n2 are relatively prime, a = b (mod n¡n2).
0. For n > 1, use congruence theory to establish each of the following divisibility
statements:
(a) 7|52n +3. 25n-2.
(b) 13| 3"+2 + 42n+1,
(c) 27|25n+1 + 5"+2.
(d) 43 6"+2 + 72n+1
7. For n > 1, show that
(-13)"+1 = (-13)" + (-13)"-1 (mod 181)

8. Prove the assertions below:
(a) If a is an odd integer, then a² = 1 (mod 8).
(b) For any integer a, a³ = 0, 1, or 6 (mod 7).
(c) For any integer a, a* = 0 or 1 (mod 5).
(d) If the integer a is not divisible by 2 or 3, then a2 = 1 (mod 24).

10. If a1, a2, ..., a, is a complete set of residues modulo n and gcd(a, n) = 1, prove that
aa1, aa2, . , aa, is also a complete set

11. Verify that 0, 1, 2, 2², 2³,
0, 12, 22, 32,..., 10² do not.
12. Prove the following statements:
(a) If gcd(a, n) = 1, then the integers
residues modulo n.
2° form a complete set of residues modulo 11, but that
