  • Answer

Let pp be a prime number, and let nn be a positive integer. Find the number of quadruples (a1,a2,a3,a4)\left(a_{1}, a_{2}, a_{3}, a_{4}\right) with ai∈{0,1,…,pn−1}a_{i} \in\left\{0,1, \ldots, p^{n}-1\right\} for i=1,2,3,4i=1,2,3,4 such that

pn∣(a1a2+a3a4+1).p^{n} \mid\left(a_{1} a_{2}+a_{3} a_{4}+1\right) .
