Structure of associated sets to Midy's Property
Abstract
Let be a positive integer greater than 1, a positive integer relatively prime to , the order of in the multiplicative group of positive integers less than and relatively primes to and . It is well known that when we write the fraction in base , it is periodic. Let be positive integers with and such that and with the bar indicating the period and are digits in base . We separate the period in blocks of length and let be the number represented in base by the block and . If for all , the sum is a multiple of we say that has the Midy's property for and . In this work we present some interesting properties of the set of positive integers such that has the Midy's property for and .
