Find the smallest positive integer $m$ satisfying the following condition: for all prime numbers $p$ such that $p>3$,have $105|9^{ p^2}-29^p+m.$ (September 28, 2012, Hohhot)
Let $ (a_{n})_{n\ge 1}$ be a sequence of positive integers satisfying $ (a_{m},a_{n}) = a_{(m,n)}$ (for all $ m,n\in N^ +$). Prove that for any $ n\in N^ + ,\prod_{d|n}{a_{d}^{\mu (\frac {n}{d})}}$ is an integer. where $ d|n$ denotes $ d$ take all positive divisors of $ n.$ Function $ \mu (n)$ is defined as follows: if $ n$ can be divided by square of certain prime number, then $ \mu (1) = 1;\mu (n) = 0$; if $ n$ can be expressed as product of $ k$ different prime numbers, then $ \mu (n) = ( - 1)^k.$
Let $n$ be a given number greater than 2. We consider the set $V_n$ of all the integers of the form $1 + kn$ with $k = 1, 2, \ldots$ A number $m$ from $V_n$ is called indecomposable in $V_n$ if there are not two numbers $p$ and $q$ from $V_n$ so that $m = pq.$ Prove that there exist a number $r \in V_n$ that can be expressed as the product of elements indecomposable in $V_n$ in more than one way. (Expressions which differ only in order of the elements of $V_n$ will be considered the same.)
Let $n$ be a positive integer with $n>1$. Prove that \[\frac{1}{2}+\cdots+\frac{1}{n}\] is not an integer.
Find all integers $ n\ge 2$ having the following property: for any $ k$ integers $ a_{1},a_{2},\cdots,a_{k}$ which aren't congruent to each other (modulo $ n$), there exists an integer polynomial $ f(x)$ such that congruence equation $ f(x)\equiv 0 (mod n)$ exactly has $ k$ roots $ x\equiv a_{1},a_{2},\cdots,a_{k} (mod n).$

Let define a function $f: \mathbb{N} \rightarrow \mathbb{Z}$ such that : $i)$$f(p)=1$ for all prime numbers $p$. $ii)$$f(xy)=xf(y)+yf(x)$ for all positive integers $x,y$ find the smallest $n \geq 2016$ such that $f(n)=n$
Find all positive integers $p$, $q$, $r$ such that $p$ and $q$ are prime numbers and $\frac{1}{p+1}+\frac{1}{q+1}-\frac{1}{(p+1)(q+1)} = \frac{1}{r}.$
Let $p \geq 5$ be a prime. (a) Show that exists a prime $q \neq p$ such that $q| (p-1)^{p}+1$ (b) Factoring in prime numbers $(p-1)^{p}+1 = \prod_{i=1}^{n}p_{i}^{a_{i}}$ show that: \[\sum_{i=1}^{n}p_{i}a_{i}\geq \frac{p^{2}}2 \]
Let $Q$ be a set of prime numbers, not necessarily finite. For a positive integer $n$ consider its prime factorization: define $p(n)$ to be the sum of all the exponents and $q(n)$ to be the sum of the exponents corresponding only to primes in $Q$. A positive integer $n$ is called [i]special[/i] if $p(n)+p(n+1)$ and $q(n)+q(n+1)$ are both even integers. Prove that there is a constant $c>0$ independent of the set $Q$ such that for any positive integer $N>100$, the number of special integers in $[1,N]$ is at least $cN$. (For example, if $Q=\{3,7\}$, then $p(42)=3$, $q(42)=2$, $p(63)=3$, $q(63)=3$, $p(2022)=3$, $q(2022)=1$.)
Construct a tetromino by attaching two $2 \times 1$ dominoes along their longer sides such that the midpoint of the longer side of one domino is a corner of the other domino. This construction yields two kinds of tetrominoes with opposite orientations. Let us call them $S$- and $Z$-tetrominoes, respectively. Assume that a lattice polygon $P$ can be tiled with $S$-tetrominoes. Prove that no matter how we tile $P$ using only $S$- and $Z$-tetrominoes, we always use an even number of $Z$-tetrominoes.

Let $S=\{1,2,...,100\}$ . Find number of functions $f: S\to S$ satisfying the following conditions a)$f(1)=1$ b)$f$ is bijective c)$f(n)=f(g(n))f(h(n))\forall n\in S$, where $g(n),h(n)$ are positive integer numbers such that $g(n)\leq h(n),n=g(n)h(n)$ that minimize $h(n)-g(n)$.
For every positive integer $n$, let $S_n$ be the sum of the first $n$ prime numbers: $S_1 = 2, S_2 = 2 + 3 = 5, S_3 = 2 + 3 + 5 = 10$, etc. Can both $S_n$ and $S_{n+1}$ be perfect squares?
