The '''multiplicative order''' of ''a'' relative to ''m'' is the least positive integer ''n'' such that ''a^n'' is 1 (modulo ''m'').

;Example: The multiplicative order of 37 relative to 1000 is 100 because 37^100 is 1 (modulo 1000), and no number smaller than 100 would do.

One possible algorithm that is efficient also for large numbers is the following: By the [[wp:Chinese_Remainder_Theorem|Chinese Remainder Theorem]], it's enough to calculate the multiplicative order for each prime exponent ''p^k'' of ''m'', and combine the results with the ''[[least common multiple]]'' operation.

Now the order of ''a'' with regard to ''p^k'' must divide ''Φ(p^k)''. Call this number ''t'', and determine it's factors ''q^e''. Since each multiple of the order will also yield 1 when used as exponent for ''a'', it's enough to find the least d such that ''(q^d)*(t/(q^e))'' yields 1 when used as exponent.

;Task: Implement a routine to calculate the multiplicative order along these lines. You may assume that routines to determine the factorization into prime powers are available in some library.


An algorithm for the multiplicative order can be found in Bach & Shallit, Algorithmic Number Theory, Volume I: Efficient Algorithms, The MIT Press, 1996:

Exercise 5.8, page 115:

Suppose you are given a prime p and a complete factorization of p-1. Show how to compute the order of an element a in (Z/(p))* using O((lg p)4/(lg lg p)) bit operations.

Solution, page 337:

Let the prime factorization of p-1 be q1e1q2e2...qkek . We use the following observation: if x^((p-1)/qifi) = 1 (mod p) , and fi=ei or x^((p-1)/qifi+1) != 1 (mod p) , then qiei-fi||ordp x. (This follows by combining Exercises 5.1 and 2.10.)

Hence it suffices to find, for each i , the exponent fi such that the condition above holds.

This can be done as follows: first compute q1e1, q2e2, ... , qkek . This can be done using O((lg p)2) bit operations. Next, compute y1=(p-1)/q1e1, ... , yk=(p-1)/qkek . This can be done using O((lg p)2) bit operations. Now, using the binary method, compute x1=ay1(mod p), ... , xk=ayk(mod p) . This can be done using O(k(lg p)3) bit operations, and k=O((lg p)/(lg lg p)) by Theorem 8.8.10. Finally, for each i , repeatedly raise xi to the qi-th power (mod p) (as many as ei-1 times), checking to see when 1 is obtained. This can be done using O((lg p)3) steps. The total cost is dominated by O(k(lg p)3) , which is O((lg p)4/(lg lg p)).

Ada

Instead of assuming a library call to factorize the modulus, we assume the caller of our Find_Order function has already factorized it. The Multiplicative_Order package is specified as follows ("multiplicative_order.ads").

package Multiplicative_Order is

   type Positive_Array is array (Positive range <>) of Positive;

   function Find_Order(Element, Modulus: Positive) return Positive;
   -- naive algorithm
   -- returns the smallest I such that (Element**I) mod Modulus = 1

   function Find_Order(Element: Positive;
                       Coprime_Factors: Positive_Array) return Positive;
   -- faster algorithm for the same task
   -- computes the order of all Coprime_Factors(I)
   -- and returns their least common multiple
   -- this gives the same result as Find_Order(Element, Modulus)
   -- with Modulus being the product of all the Coprime_Factors(I)
   --
   -- preconditions: (1) 1 = GCD(Coprime_Factors(I), Coprime_Factors(J))
   --                    for all pairs I, J with I /= J
   --                (2) 1 < Coprime_Factors(I)   for all I

end Multiplicative_Order;

Here is the implementation ("multiplicative_order.adb"):

      function Power(Exp, Pow, M: Positive) return Positive is
         -- computes Exp**Pow mod M;

         begin

               return 0;
            end if;
            return abs (A * B) / Gcd (A, B);
         end LCM; -- from http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Least_common_multiple#Ada

         Result : Positive := 1;

   begin -- Find_Order(Element, Coprime_Factors)
      for I in Coprime_Factors'Range loop
         Result := LCM(Result, Find_Order(Element, Coprime_Factors(I)));
      end loop;
      return Result;
   end Find_Order;

end Multiplicative_Order;

This is a sample program using the Multiplicative_Order package:

begin

   IIO.Put(Find_Order(37, 3344));
   -- IIO.Put(Find_Order( 2,1000));
     --would raise Program_Error, because there is no I with 2**I=1 mod 1000
   Ada.Text_IO.New_Line;
   IIO.Put(Find_Order(3, (2,5)));           --  3 *   5 = 10
   IIO.Put(Find_Order(37, (8, 125)));       --  8 * 125 = 1000
   IIO.Put(Find_Order(37, (16, 625)));      -- 16 * 625 = 10_000
   IIO.Put(Find_Order(37, (1 => 3343)));    -- 1-element-array: 3343 is a prime
   IIO.Put(Find_Order(37, (11, 19, 16)));   -- 11 * 19 * 16 = 3344

   -- this violates the precondition, because 8 and 2 are not coprime
   -- it gives an incorrect result
   IIO.Put(Find_Order(37, (11, 19, 8, 2)));
end Main;

The dyadic verb ''mo'' converts its arguments to exact numbers ''a'' and ''m'', executes ''mopk'' on the factorization of ''m'', and combines the result with the ''least common multiple'' operation.

mo=: 4 : 0
 a=. x: x
 m=. x: y
 assert. 1=a+.m
 *./ a mopk"1 |: __ q: m
)

The dyadic verb ''mopk'' expects a pair of prime and exponent in the second argument. It sets up a verb ''pm'' to calculate powers module ''p^k''. Then calculates ''Φ(p^k)'' as ''t'', factorizes it again into ''q'' and ''e'', and calculates ''a^(t/(q^e))'' as ''x''. Now, it finds the least ''d'' such that subsequent application of ''pm'' yields ''1''. Finally, it combines the exponents ''q^d'' into a product.

mopk=: 4 : 0
 a=. x: x
 'p k'=. x: y
 pm=. (p^k)&|@^
 t=. (p-1)*p^k-1  NB. totient
 'q e'=. __ q: t
 x=. a pm t%q^e
 d=. (1<x)+x (pm i. 1:)&> (e-1) */\@$&.> q

Mathematica

In Mathematica this is really easy, as this function is built-in: MultiplicativeOrder[k,n] gives the multiplicative order of k modulo n, defined as the smallest integer m such that k^m == 1 mod n.

MultiplicativeOrder[k,n,{r1,r2,...}] gives the generalized multiplicative order of k modulo n, defined as the smallest integer m such that k^m==ri mod n for some i.
Examples:

MultiplicativeOrder[37, 1000]
MultiplicativeOrder[10^100 + 1, 7919]        (*10^3th prime number  Prime[1000]*)
MultiplicativeOrder[10^1000 + 1, 15485863]       (*10^6th prime number*)
MultiplicativeOrder[10^10000 - 1, 22801763489]       (*10^9th prime number*)
MultiplicativeOrder[13, 1 + 10^80]
MultiplicativeOrder[11, 1 + 10^100]

gives back:

Racket

The Racket function unit-group-order from racket/math computes the multiplicative order of an element a in Zn. An implementation of the algorithm in the tast description is shown below.


#lang racket
(require math)

(define (order a n)
  (unless (coprime? a n) (error 'order "arguments must be coprime"))
  (for/fold ([o 1]) ([r (factorize n)])
    (lcm o (order1 a r))))

(define (order1 a p&e)
  (match-define (list p e) p&e)
  (define m (expt p e))
  (define t (* (- p 1) (expt p (- e 1))))
  (define qs
    (for/fold ([qs '(1)]) ([f (factorize t)])
       (match f [(list f0 f1)
                 (for*/list ([q qs] [j (in-range (+ 1 f1))])
                   (* q (expt f0 j)))])))
  (for/or ([q (sort qs <)] #:when (= (modular-expt a q m) 1)) q))


(order 37 1000)
(order (+ (expt 10 100) 1) 7919)
(order (+ (expt 10 1000) 1) 15485863)
(order (- (expt 10 10000) 1) 22801763489)
(order 13 (+ 1 (expt 10 80)))

Output:
