I wasn't entirely sure about this problem, but I think the general idea is that the multiplicative set of F of nonzero elements forms a group under multiplication. Since it has n-1 elements then, by property of groups, x^(n-1) =1 for all nonzero x in F.<br> | I wasn't entirely sure about this problem, but I think the general idea is that the multiplicative set of F of nonzero elements forms a group under multiplication.
