Kummer’s theorem


Given integers nm0 and a prime numberMathworldPlanetmath p, then the power of pdividing (nm) is equal to the number of carries when adding m andn-m in base p.

Proof.

For the proof we can allow of numbers in base p with leadingzeros. So let

ndnd-1n0:=n,
mdmd-1m0:=m,

all in base p. We set r=n-m and denote the p-adic representation of rwith rdrd-1r0.

We define c-1=0, and for each 0jd

cj={1for mj+rjp0otherwise.(1)

Finally, we introduce δp(n) as the sum of digits in the p-adic of n. Then it follows that the power of p dividing (nm) is

δp(m)+δp(r)-δp(n)p-1.

For each j0, we have

nj=mj+rj+cj-1-p.cj.

Then

δp(m)+δp(r)-δp(n)=k=0d(mk+rk-nk)
=k=0d((p-1)cj)+k=0d(cj-cj-1)
=k=0d(p-1)cj+cd-c-1

This gives us

δp(m)+δp(r)-δp(n)p-1=k=0dck,

the total number of carries.∎
