Proposition: Legendre Symbols of Equal Residues

Let $p > 2$ be a prime number. If two integers $n,m\in\mathbb Z$ belong to the same congruence classes modulo $p$ then their Legendre symbols modulo $p$ are equal, formally $$n(p)\equiv m(p)\Longrightarrow \left(\frac np\right)=\left(\frac {m}p\right).$$
