    Code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <math.h>
    
    main(){
    	int a,b,p;
    	for(a=1;a<=p-1;a++){
    		printf("&#37;d\t",a);
    		for(b=1;b<=p-1;b++){
    				if(a*b%p==1){
    				printf("%d\n",b);
    				break;
    			}
    		}
    	}
    }

    Maybe p should be set to something.

    maybe there is misunderstanding of the question.
    i think, "in this way the distractions of performing real arithmetic accurately on the computer will be avoided." means p is a prime but not a constant???

    if we set p=17,
    how can we "store" the inverses of non-zero elements of F?

    I think we are missing some information. The link in your first post did not work for me.
