2.3 Euler's Theorem

Euler's Theorem


  1. What is the value of \Phi(175) , where \Phi is Euler's Totient function?
    Exercise 1
    Noting that 175 = 5^2 \cdot 7. It follows that \Phi(175)=(5^2 - 5^1)(7-1) = 20 \cdot 6 = 120.
  2. What is the remainder of 22^{12001} divided by 175?
    Exercise 2
    22^{12001} = 22^{(120 \cdot 100) + 1} = 22^{120^{100}} \cdot 22 \equiv 1^{100} \cdot 22 \equiv 22 \text{ mod } 175.
