I am tutoring a student with a prealgebra word type problem. I could not figure out the real way to solve it. Here is the problem: A class took a test with four choices to choose; Let p be prime. Prove that...

(1 + p)^(p^(n - 1)) = 1(mod p^n) for all n = 1, 2, 3,...

Would using the Binomial Thm help? What about applying the Chinese Remainder Thm?
