galois.is_primitive_root¶
- galois.is_primitive_root(g, n)¶
Determines if \(g\) is a primitive root modulo \(n\).
\(g\) is a primitive root if the totatives of \(n\), the positive integers \(1 \le a < n\) that are coprime with \(n\), can be generated by powers of \(g\).
- Parameters
- Returns
True
if \(g\) is a primitive root modulo \(n\).- Return type
