Abstract
Ramanujan showed that , where is the -th Fourier coefficient of the unique normalized cusp form of weight and full level, and the prime appears in the numerator of for the Riemann zeta function . Searching for such congruences, it is shown that the prime appears in the numerator of , where is the unique nontrivial quadratic Dirichlet character modulo and its Dirichlet -function, giving rise to a congruence between a cusp form and an Eisenstein series of weight on with nebentypus character
