Use Euler’s theorem to establish the following:
(a) For any integer a, a^37 ≡ a (mod 1729).
[Hint: 1729 = 7·13·19.]
(b) For any integer a, a^13 ≡ a (mod 2730).
[Hint: 2730 = 2 · 3 · 5 · 7 · 13.]
(c) For any odd integer a, a33 ≡ a (mod 4080).
[Hint: 4080 = 15·16·17.]
[Hint: 1729 = 7·13·19.]
(b) For any integer a, a^13 ≡ a (mod 2730).
[Hint: 2730 = 2 · 3 · 5 · 7 · 13.]
(c) For any odd integer a, a33 ≡ a (mod 4080).
[Hint: 4080 = 15·16·17.]
a) For any integer a, we need to establish
