Original question and givens

Use the complete prime field Z_31, with prime p=31, residue labels 0 through p−1, and addition/multiplication modulo p. Nonzero inputs alone may be inverted; division by zero is never allowed. This prime-field family does not assert that every finite field has prime order or that every finite ring is a field. Give (p,successive_sums_of_one,characteristic,additive_order_of_one). List k*1 for k=0 through p in that order.

  • G001 — Use the complete prime field Z_31, with prime p=31, residue labels 0 through p−1, and addition/multiplication modulo p. Nonzero inputs alone may be inverted; division by zero is never allowed. This prime-field family does not assert that every finite field has prime order or that every finite ring is a field. Give (p,successive_sums_of_one,characteristic,additive_order_of_one). List k*1 for k=0 through p in that order.

Definition and scope

Use the original question domain, assumptions and cited MKO definitions. This item has second-context mathematical and bilingual review, with the model, answer and every arithmetic step independently recomputed from the original parameters; the source question remains a candidate.
