Question Number 80643 by mr W last updated on 05/Feb/20

Prove that there is no solution for  7^n ≡1 mod(35) with n∈N.

$${Prove}\:{that}\:{there}\:{is}\:{no}\:{solution}\:{for} \\ $$$$\mathrm{7}^{{n}} \equiv\mathrm{1}\:{mod}\left(\mathrm{35}\right)\:{with}\:{n}\in\mathbb{N}. \\ $$

∀k∈N: 7^(20k) ≡1mod 55

$$\forall{k}\in\mathbb{N}:\:\mathrm{7}^{\mathrm{20}{k}} \equiv\mathrm{1mod}\:\mathrm{55} \\ $$

thanks sir! i should have asked  7^n ≡1 mod (35). is there a solution?

$${thanks}\:{sir}!\:{i}\:{should}\:{have}\:{asked} \\ $$$$\mathrm{7}^{{n}} \equiv\mathrm{1}\:{mod}\:\left(\mathrm{35}\right).\:{is}\:{there}\:{a}\:{solution}? \\ $$

no solution except n=0  k∈N^★ : 7^(4k) ≡21mod 35  k∈N:       7^(4k+1) ≡7mod 35       7^(4k+2) ≡14mod 35       7^(4k+3) ≡28mod 35

$$\mathrm{no}\:\mathrm{solution}\:\mathrm{except}\:{n}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$${k}\in\mathbb{N}^{\bigstar} :\:\mathrm{7}^{\mathrm{4}{k}} \equiv\mathrm{21mod}\:\mathrm{35} \\ $$$${k}\in\mathbb{N}: \\ $$$$\:\:\:\:\:\mathrm{7}^{\mathrm{4}{k}+\mathrm{1}} \equiv\mathrm{7mod}\:\mathrm{35} \\ $$$$\:\:\:\:\:\mathrm{7}^{\mathrm{4}{k}+\mathrm{2}} \equiv\mathrm{14mod}\:\mathrm{35} \\ $$$$\:\:\:\:\:\mathrm{7}^{\mathrm{4}{k}+\mathrm{3}} \equiv\mathrm{28mod}\:\mathrm{35} \\ $$

only n=0  if n≥1⇒7∣7^n ,7∣35  if ∃n such 7^n =1(35)⇒  7^n =1+35k⇒  1=7(7^(n−1) −5k)⇒7∣1  absurd

$${only}\:{n}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$${if}\:{n}\geqslant\mathrm{1}\Rightarrow\mathrm{7}\mid\mathrm{7}^{{n}} ,\mathrm{7}\mid\mathrm{35} \\ $$$${if}\:\exists{n}\:{such}\:\mathrm{7}^{{n}} =\mathrm{1}\left(\mathrm{35}\right)\Rightarrow \\ $$$$\mathrm{7}^{{n}} =\mathrm{1}+\mathrm{35}{k}\Rightarrow \\ $$$$\mathrm{1}=\mathrm{7}\left(\mathrm{7}^{{n}−\mathrm{1}} −\mathrm{5}{k}\right)\Rightarrow\mathrm{7}\mid\mathrm{1}\:\:{absurd} \\ $$
