List of invertible congruence classes












2












$begingroup$


I am attempting to create a list of the invertible congruence classes $bmod 120$.



The code I have is Table[If[{ModularInverse[i, 120]} = {}, 120, ModularInverse[i, 120]], {i,
0, 119}]



If the modular inverse does not exist, it should return $120$. If it does exist, it should return the integer that corresponds to the inverse congruence class.



The code is not working how I expected it to. If the modular inverse does not exists, it gives me a list with the unevaluated code, for example, ModularInverse[0, 120].

    Not the only problem, but one thing to note: Equality is tested with a double-equals ==.

Note what happens when i does not have an inverse:



ModularInverse[2, 120]



ModularInverse::ninv: 2 is not invertible modulo 120.




(*  Out=  ModularInverse[2, 120]  *)


The output is the same as the input (it returns "unevaluated" in Mma jargon).
You can use FreeQ to see if the inverse returned unevaluated:



Table[With[{inv = Quiet@ModularInverse[i, 120]}, 
If[FreeQ[inv, ModularInverse], inv, 120]], {i, 0, 119}]
