How would I go about figuring out how many units are in Zeta 230?
by zeta 230, do you mean the ring of intergers modulo 230? if so, the units are the invertible elements, ie 1, 3, 77, 7 , 33 ......
Why not just say it? In general $\displaystyle \text{card }(\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z})^{\times}=\varphi(n)$ where $\displaystyle \varphi(n)$ is the number of things less than $\displaystyle n$ which are relatively prime to it.Quote:
