  • Prove

$$\prod_{i ∈ Φ_n} i=(-1)^{\frac{m}{2}}$$

  • Then what becomes this identity if $n$ is a prime number?

I know that if $x^2=1$, we pair the number with its inverse modulo $n$ in the product. Otherwise, we pair it up with $−x$. But still don't know how to prove it.

Can please anyone help me with this proof?
