Abstract

Consider a multiplicative group of integers modulo n, denoted by $\mathbb{Z}_n^*$ . Any element $a{\in}\mathbb{Z}_n^*$ n is said to be a semi-primitive root if the order of a modulo n is $\phi$ (n)/2, where $\phi$ (n) is the Euler phi-function. In this paper, we classify the multiplicative groups of integers having semi-primitive roots and give interesting properties of such groups.
