Homework Statement


Find all elements of Z*19 of multiplicative order 18.

Homework Equations


ak [tex]\equiv[/tex]1 (mod n)

The Attempt at a Solution


So for a [tex]\in[/tex] Z*19 to have the multiplicative order 18 we have to satisfy the equivalence a18 [tex]\equiv[/tex] 1(mod 19), but the has to be a "smarter" way of calculating "a" than by just plug and chug numbers 1 through 18 to find the set that's equivalent to 1(mod 19)
