The \(p\)-adic proof of Eisenstein's congruence (English)
0 references
Let \(p\) be an odd prime, and for \(k\) with \((k,p)=1\) let \(k^*\) satisfy \(kk^*\equiv 1\pmod p\). Then Eisenstein's congruence states that \(2^{p-1}/p\equiv 1^*+3^*+5^*+\cdots+(p-2)^* \pmod q\). This note gives a proof of the congruence.
