proof of a corollary to Euler-Fermat theorem


This is an easy consequence of Euler-Fermat theorem:

Let di,mi be defined as in the parent entry. Then gcd⁡(a,ms)=1 and Euler’s theorem implies:

aϕ⁢(ms)≡1modms

Note also that each of ds-1,…,d0 divides a, so ∏di divides as, so ∏di divides aϕ⁢(ms)+s-as. Also, gcd⁡(∏di,ms)=1 and ms⋅∏di=m. Therefore:

aϕ⁢(ms)+s≡asmodm

which is what the corollary claimed.
