Section: Algebraic Structures of Complete Residue Systems

In the following section we will introduce complete residue systems, i.e. sets of integers which represent all possible congruence classes modulo a positive integer $m > 0.$ We will also study their algebraic structure for prime and composite modules $m.$

The previous proposition has shown that if $p$ is prime, then $\mathbb Z_p$ is a finite field.
