modular arithmetic - Proof by Pairing Multiplicative Inverses


  • Pairing up multiplicative inverses, show that (p1)!1(modp) for prime p

  • Show that if N is not prime, then (N-1)! \not \equiv −1 \pmod N. (Can use d = \gcd(N, (N − 1)!) )



I know that all numberers in (p-1)! can be grouped into \frac{p-1}{2} paris that is congruent to 1 mod p. By I'm not sure how to go about proving it. Any suggestion is appreciated.
