Solution to the Erdos problem on distinct residues of factorials
Abstract
Paul Erdos posed the following question: Is there a prime number p>5 such that the residues of 2!, 3!,…, (p-1)! modulo p all are distinct. In this short note, we give the negative answer on this question in an elementary way.
