Example
ICG(5,2,3,1) gives the sequence:(1,0,3,2,4,1,.....) (as in, 1 and 4 are their own inverse, 2 is the inverse of 3 and conversely). In this example is irreducible in as neither 0,1,2,3 or 4 are roots, and therefore the period is equal to q=5.In order to show that f is primitive one should show that x is a primitive element of .

Famous quotes containing the word example:
“Our intellect is not the most subtle, the most powerful, the most appropriate, instrument for revealing the truth.
