Abstract
Extending previous work of the author, we compute the Wilson quotient modulo and , and equivalently modulo and , respectively. Further, we determine some power sums of the Fermat quotients up to modulo . Subsequently, we discuss some patterns that occur in the -adic coefficients of the Wilson quotient as well as of , whereby the original congruence fits perfectly into the theory.
