  5. What are primitive roots modulo n? - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    The important fact is that the only numbers $n$ that have primitive roots modulo $n$ are of the form $2^\varepsilon p^m$, where $\varepsilon$ is either $0$ or $1$, $p$ is an odd prime, and …

  6. Show that $2$ is a primitive root modulo $13$.

    Hence $2$ has order $12$ modulo 13 and is therefore a primitive root modulo $13$. Now note all even powers of $2$ can't be primitive roots as they are squares modulo $13$. $ (*)$
