primitive root
I am writing a program to find the primitive root. In the lecture we have given that
x is a primitive root in F_p, where p a prime number, if
x^((p-1)/pi) is not 1. (With pi the prime factors of p-1).
So here my programm:
p = 468889
R = IntegerModRing(p)
factor(p-1)
#gives: p-1 = 2^3 * 3 * 7 * 2791
list = [2,3,7,2791]
c=True
(I changed the for loop:)
for x in range(1,p):
for pi in list:
a = (p-1)/pi
if a == int(a):
k = R(x^a)
if k==1:
c=False
else:
print k
else:
pass
if c==True:
print x
else:
print c, x
But still there is no result. Can anyone help? I don't see the problem. Thanks a lot!
