Hint for Section G.1 Question 4

Proof (part 2) Suppose that every non-zero element of Zp has a multiplicative inverse in Zp.

Then we have " [a] Î Zp, $ [a]-1 Î Zp such that a × a-1 equiv.jpg (808 bytes) 1 (mod p). This can be rewritten as (a × a-1) + rp = 1, which implies a fact about the relative primality of a and p and thus the primality of p.
