From 7db83a89024f642d31af0bf619aa8009bec5f4d5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mark Wooding Date: Sat, 21 Sep 2019 11:40:14 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] pock.1: Make a less fatuous observation. Of course a has order dividing p - 1 in Z/pZ. This is Lagrange's theorem. It's valuable to observe that a has order dividing n - 1 because this makes the next step, where we deduce the order of t = a^{(n-1)/q}, work. --- pock.1 | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/pock.1 b/pock.1 index f977ee4..4ebf3a6 100644 --- a/pock.1 +++ b/pock.1 @@ -472,7 +472,7 @@ the order of in .RB ( Z /\fIp Z )\*(ss\(**\*(se divides -.I p +.I n \- 1.
