Structure of integers mod 17

Discrete logarithm

Template:Fermat prime discrete log facts to check against

We can take 3 to be a primitive root mod 17, i.e., a generator for the multiplicative group of integers mod 17. With this, the discrete logarithm table from the multiplicative group mod 17 to the additive group mod 16 looks as follows:
