Abstract
Let be an odd prime. It is well known that , where is the Fibonacci sequence and is the Jacobi symbol. In this paper we show that if then we may determine mod in the following way: We also use Lucas quotients to determine modulo for any integer ; in particular, we obtain In addition, we pose three conjectures for further research.
