blit this equation gives

if 1, a 2 , ••• a a are the integers less than a and prime to it (a is of course the degree 
of [1 — ¿e a ]). Hence 
XP = 6p p a ~' n (1 - p«*- 1 ) ’ 
and therefore 
0p = - n (1 - p^- 1 ) xp ; 
or putting for XP its value 
dp = — p a n (1 — p ai_1 ) A_ s , 
where a is the degree of [1 — x a ~\ and 
of unity) less than a and prime to it. 
the equation [1 — p a ] = 0, may be reduced to 
a—1, and then by simply changing p into x

The function on the right hand, by means of 
an integral function of p of the degree 
we have the required function 6x. The

reduced to a fraction with the denominator 1 — x a , and the coefficients of the numerator 
of this fraction are the coefficients of the corresponding prime circulator ( ) per a q . 
Thus, let it be required to find the terms depending on the denominator [1 — af\ in
