Abstract
Let p be a prime and let a be a positive integer. In this paper we determine and modulo for all d=0,...,p^a, where m is any integer not divisible by p. For example, we show that if then where F_n is the n-th Fibonacci number and (-) is the Jacobi symbol. We also prove that if p>3 then where B_n denotes the n-th Bernoulli number.
