Exercise 2.1.32 (Other complete residue system)

Show that 2 , 4 , 6 , , 2 m is a complete residue system modulo m if m is odd.

Answers

Proof. By Theorem 2.6, since m 2 = 1 , and 1 , , m is a complete system of residue modulo m , then 2 , 4 , 6 , , 2 m is a complete residue system modulo m if m is odd. □

(Note : It is the same to say that

{ mℤ mℤ x 2 x

is bijective if m is odd.)
