This command computes a value g such that, for all integers a coprime to n, g^k = a (mod n) for some k. In other words, this command computes a generator for the multiplicative group of integers modulo n.
For improved performance, provide the prime factorization of the totient of n with the -t flag.`,
For improved performance, provide the prime factorization of the totient of n with the -t flag.
Note that primitive roots only exist for the moduli 1, 2, 4, p^k, and 2p^k, where p is an odd prime. The totients of these numbers are 1, 1, 2, (p-1)*p^(k-1), and (p-1)*p^(k-1), respectively.`,
