2.4.4, due September 14

I don't think I am understanding Euler's theorem and primitive roots. I think it's because I was just beginning to understand the phi function and how to use and and I haven't quite finished wrapping my mind around it in order to utilize it in this new context. I do like the method for finding primitive roots (even if i don't completely get them) because it is concrete and I like having one solid way of doing things every now and then.
