Eulers Theorem

 If you followed the proof for Fermat's little theorem then you can understand this generalization rapidly.  As before when the integer a is coprime to p you get the jumble of all the integers 1,2,3…p-1.  This was guaranteed by p being prime in Fermat's little theorem.  When you relent on that condition then you have some integers a that are not coprime to p and they will not give you a full contingent of integers. See the spread sheet clips below

 

2 is coprime to 15 and thus all values 0 through 14 are cycled through.  3 is not coprime to 15 and thus the gearing does not cycle through all values.

Steps

  1. Assemble the three boards that make up the I-beam.
  2. Attach the legs, using a framing square to square the legs to the beam.
  3. Attach the rails last. – Do not take the height above ground level of the rails literally.  Depending on the dimensions of your 2x4s this can vary.  Proceed by attaching the short rails where they fit best against the legs. then position the long rails to match. My spreadsheets change dimensions in order to minimize waste.  Each
