Chapter 8 Fermat`s Little Theorem
... Now φ(33) = 2 · 10 = 20. Since 17 and y are coprime to 33, it follows by Euler’s Theorem that 1720 ≡ 1 mod 33 and y 20 ≡ 1 mod 33. Hence (17y)20 ≡ 1 mod 33 =⇒ (17y)560 ≡ 1 mod 33 =⇒ (17y)561 ≡ 17y mod 33. The other cases where x is divisible by one or more of 3, 11, 17 can be dealt with similarly. W ...

... The representation number of K1,n is bounded below by 2n as, by [6, Example (1.1)], the representation number of the edgeless graph on n vertices is 2n. There are three upper bounds in the literature. In [6, Example (1.3)], it is shown that rep(K1,n ) ≤ min{2!log2 n"+1 , 3!log2 n"+1 , 2p}, where p i ...

... Proposition 1. The good numbers are 11, 17, 23, 27, 29, 35, 37, 41, 47, and 53. For the proof, we need to know the even primal numbers of weight less than 54. Lemma 2. An even primal number of weight less than 54 is either a product of two primes, or is one of 2 · 2 · 2, 2 · 11 · 11, 2 · 13 · 13, or ...

... Solution: Write n = 2a m, where m is odd. Then τ (n) = τ (2a )τ (m) = (a + 1)τ (m) and τ (2n) = τ (2a+1 )τ (m) = (a + 2)τ (m) . Thus τ (2n) = 2τ (n) translates into (a + 1)τ (m) = 2aτ (m) . Here τ (m) is a positive integer. After dividing both sides by τ (m), we obtain a+2 = 2(a+1) or equivalently, ...
