A solution to a Paul Erdos problem

Vyacheslav M. Abramov

Published 2025-04-27, updated 2025-05-07Version 3

Paul Erdos posed the following question: Is there a prime number $p>5$ such that the residues of $2!$, $3!$,\ldots, $(p-1)!$ modulo $p$ all are distinct? In this short note, we prove that there are no such prime numbers.

Comments: Dear readers, I need to withdraw this paper since I was shown a counterexample. At this moment I cannot fix an error. I shall return to this question as soon as I find a solution
