Let p be an odd prime, and let x = [(p−1)/2]!. Prove that x^2 ≡ (−1)^(p+1)/2 (mod p). (You will need Wilson’s theorem, (p−1)! ≡−1 (mod p).) This gives another proof that if p ≡ 1 (mod 4), then x^2 ≡ −1 (mod p) has a solution.

Let n be an integer, with n ≥ 2. Prove by contradiction that if n is not a prime number, then n is divisible by an integer x with 1 < x ≤√n. [Note: An integer m is divisible by another integer n if there exists a third integer k such that m = nk. This is just a formal way of saying that m is divisible by n if m n is an integer.]
