Galois Field $GF(6)$












0












$begingroup$


The set called $GF(6)={0,1,2,3,4,5}$ also has the mathematical operations addition modulo $6$ and multiplication modulo $6$. We want to prove that this is not a field, since it does not match with the law of fields. In which one do we see the mistake?

For $GF$ to be a field it has to have for every element (except for $0$) an multiplicative inverse. Hence only $1$ and $5$ has one and the others don’t, it’s not an field. For every finite field such as it has an number of elements which is not prime $p$ many or $p^n$ for $n$ is natural, it can’t be an field.
