Let φk∈C be a primitive root of 1. It turns out, that φ1k+…+φkk=0 .
If I draw the roots for some fixed k, I can see that this seems evident. For every root there is a complex conjugated one, so that the imaginary parts cancel out (except for 1+0i, but this doesn't matter). But why do the real parts always sum to 0?
Example k=3:
φ3:=ei23Π
⇒φ13+φ23+φ33=ei23Π+ei43Π+1=cos(23Π)+isin(23Π)+cos(43Π)+isin(43Π)+cos(2Π)+isin(2Π)=−12+i√32−12−i√32+1+0=0
