Abstract
Let and be relatively prime integers. We show that for any sufficiently large integer (in particular suffices for ), the smallest prime with is the least positive integer with pairwise distinct modulo , where is the radical of . We also conjecture that for any integer the least positive integer such that is the least prime with also prime.
