n+2

is a multiple of 13 for n ≥ 0.

2. If m > 1 and a is prime to m, show that the remainders obtained by dividing a, 2a, . . . , (m − 1)a by m are the numbers 1, 2, . . . , m − 1 in some order.

3. If m is any odd integer, prove that

≡ 0 (mod m).

4. Let G be a finite multiplicative group with p elements and p is prime.

Show that G is cyclic and that any element 6= 1 is a generator.

5. Show that a finite ring without zero divisor is a field.

= 1.

Hint:

the following computations can be used:

7 = 2.6457· · ·= 2 + 1 x1

, x1= 1.5485· · ·= 1 + 1 x2

, x2= 1.8228· · ·= 1 + 1

x3

, x3 = 1.2152· · ·= 1 + 1 x4

, x4 = 4.6457· · ·= 2 +√
