Proposition 39.
If g is a generator modulo p , then the sequence of integers g , g
g p 1 is a permutation of 1, 2, . . . , p 1.
If | b | p = t and u is a positive integer, then | b u | p = t /( t , u ).
Proposition 40.
Proposition 41.
Let r be the number of positive integers not exceeding p
1 that are
relatively prime to p
1. Then, if the prime p has a generator, it has r of them.
Proposition 42.
Every prime has a generator.
Proposition 43.
Let p be prime, and let g be a generator modulo p . Suppose a and b
are positive integers not divisible by p . Then we have all of the following:
a. log1 0 (mod p 1)
b. log( ab ) log a + log b (mod p 1)
c. log( a k ) k log a (mod p 1)
where all logarithms are taken to the base g modulo p .
