Periodic Sequences modulo m

Publication date 10 September 2012

Abstract: We give a few remarks on the periodic sequence

where

x, m, n i n m a t h b b N

, which is periodic with minimal length of the period being

ell(m,x)={displaystyleprod^w_{i=1}p^{lfloorlog_{p_i}x floor+b_i}_i}=m{displaystyleprod^w_{i=1}p^{lfloorlog_{p_i}x floor}_i}

where

m = p r o d_{i = 1}^{w} p_{i}^{b_{i}}

. We prove certain interesting properties of

e l l (m, x)

and derive a few other results and congruences.
