Homework Statement
For any positive integer d and n, find the first integer d such that a^d =1 mod n
Homework Equations
Euler's totient function phi(n) = # of #s relatively prime to n
Will solve the condition if a and n are coprime but not for the first d
The Attempt at a Solution
If a and n are not coprime then there is no solution.
I am not sure how to find the smallest d such the condition holds. I know that d will be a factor of Euler's totient function.
