Let $k\ge2$ and p an odd prime number.
If
$$g^{p-1}\equiv1[p]$$
and
$$g^{p-1} \not\equiv 1 [p^2]$$ then
$$g^{p^k-1} \equiv 1[p^k]$$
I want to use this lemma:
$$g^n \equiv 1[p^k] \Rightarrow \phi(p^k)|n$$
Where $\phi$ is the euler's phi function.
I tried to work with this lemma, but i don't get results.
