Geometric Constructible Numbers...

Hi, everyone.
I have a question about geometric constructible numbers.
I know that "if 'a' is constructible then [Q(a):Q]=2^n."
But I heard that its inverse is not true.
I want some counter examples about the inverse statement.
(I have checked by googling 'i' is a constructible number.)

Help...

You mean you want a number that is algebraic of order a power of 2 and is NOT a constructible number? Hmm, now thats' a good question! I will need to think about that- for a few decades.
 


Yes, I mean that.
So, there was no clear answer about that?

Thread 'Determine whether ##125## is a unit in ##\mathbb{Z_471}##'

This is the question, I understand the concept, in ##\mathbb{Z_n}## an element is a is a unit if and only if gcd( a,n) =1. My understanding of backwards substitution, ... i have using Euclidean algorithm, ##471 = 3⋅121 + 108## ##121 = 1⋅108 + 13## ##108 =8⋅13+4## ##13=3⋅4+1## ##4=4⋅1+0## using back-substitution, ##1=13-3⋅4## ##=(121-1⋅108)-3(108-8⋅13)## ... ##= 121-(471-3⋅121)-3⋅471+9⋅121+24⋅121-24(471-3⋅121## ##=121-471+3⋅121-3⋅471+9⋅121+24⋅121-24⋅471+72⋅121##...
