Euler Phi Function of Product with Prime
Let $p$ be prime and $n \in \Z: n \ge 1$. Then: :$\map \phi {p n} = \begin{cases} \paren {p - 1} \map \phi n & : p \nmid n \\ p \map \phi n & : p \divides n \end{cases}$ where: :$\map \phi n$ denotes the Euler $\phi$ function of $n$ :$\divides$ denotes divisibility. Thus for all $n \ge 1$ and for any prime $p$, we have...
First suppose that $p \nmid n$. Then by Prime not Divisor implies Coprime, $p \perp n$. So by Euler Phi Function is Multiplicative, $\map \phi {p n} = \map \phi p \map \phi n$. It follows from Euler Phi Function of Prime that $\map \phi {p n} = \paren {p - 1} \map \phi n$. Now suppose that $p \divides n$. Then $n = p^k...

Denominators of Simple Continued Fraction are Strictly Increasing
Let $N \in \N \cup \set \infty$ be an extended natural number. Let $\sqbrk {a_0, a_1, a_2, \ldots}$ be a simple continued fraction in $\R$ of length $N$. Let $q_0, q_1, q_2, \ldots$ be its denominators. Then with the possible exception of $q_0 = q_1$, the sequence $\sequence {q_n}$ is strictly increasing.

Then from Square Modulo 4: : $x^2 \equiv 0 \pmod 4$ Hence there are two possibilities for $x^2$: : $x^2 \equiv 0 \pmod 8$ : $x^2 \equiv 4 \pmod 8$ The fact that there do exist such squares can be demonstrated by example: : $2^2 = 4 \equiv 4 \pmod 8$ : $4^2 = 16 \eq...
