... (b) I could do this by trial and error, but it would be tedious because 18 is a bit large. Instead, I’ll show that there is no multiplicative inverse using proof by contradiction. Suppose 14x = 1 for x ∈ Z18 . Then ...

... 1) It is easy to see that any additive subgroup nZ is an ideal in Z. 2) Let A = Mn (F ). Let Lj be the set of n by n matrices which are zero except possibly in the jth column. It is not hard to see that Lj is a left ideal in A. Can you give an example of a right ideal? There are no two-sided ideals ...

Over the algebraic closure of K the form/(Z, Z(1), • • • , Z(r-I)) will then be the peth. power of a product of distinct irreducible form ...

... and k 0 are co-prime and odd. We are interested in finding a non-trivial factor of n (not 1 or n). Once found one factor, we can repeat the procedure to find the complete factorization. Look at the square roots of 1 mod n, i.e., b for which b2 = 1 mod n. Clearly there are two solutions b = ±1 mod n. ...
