Original question and givens

Use exact modulus n=6 and integer a=5. First require n≥2 and normalize a modulo n into the canonical nonnegative residue, then require gcd(a,n)=1. The order is the least positive return exponent, not any return. Give (n, a, normalized_residue, gcd, phi, unit_qualified, certificate).

  • G001 — Use exact modulus n=6 and integer a=5. First require n≥2 and normalize a modulo n into the canonical nonnegative residue, then require gcd(a,n)=1. The order is the least positive return exponent, not any return. Give (n, a, normalized_residue, gcd, phi, unit_qualified, certificate).

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.

Step-by-step derivation

S001 · implies

Before

source roles = [qf-mod47-morder-qualification, [a, domain, n, operation]]

After

derived = [morder-qualification, Exact_multiplicative_order_mod_n]

Conditions: none

THIS source uses LOCAL-hyphen operations with exact keys/domain.Keep source field order and numeric/Boolean/string roles;integer rational texts omit/1.Original questions,English,MKOs,ASTs and statuses remain unchanged.
