Let be the least prime number for which there exists a positive integer such that is divisible by . Find the least positive integer such that is divisible by .
Solution 1
If
For integer
If
If
If
In conclusion, the smallest possible
Solution by Quantum-Phantom
Solution 2
We work in the ring
Solution 3 (Easy, given specialized knowledge)
Note that means The smallest prime that does this is and for example. Now let be a primitive root of The satisfying are of the form, So if we find one such , then all are Consider the from before. Note by LTE. Hence the possible are, Some modular arithmetic yields that is the least value.

Solution 4
These kind of problems, are by nature, elementary. We get:, thus , m is even , and or , since p is prime. Therefore the smallest possible such p is 17. Again, . This is where it gets a bit tricky. or Giving rise to: Now m lies in the series 42, 76, 110, 144..... . It is easy to see that the smallest value of m is 110 as neither 42 nor 76 satisfy all criteria.
