(§2.1) Let a,b,p,n ∈Z with n > 1.

(a) Prove or disprove: If ab ≡ 0 (mod n), then a ≡ 0 (mod n) or b ≡ 0 (mod n).

(b) Prove or disprove: Suppose p is a positive prime. If ab ≡ 0 (mod p), then a ≡ 0 (mod p) or b ≡ 0 (mod p).

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.
