Williams, H.C., Some formulas concerning the fundamental unit of a real quadratic field, Discrete Mathematics 92 (1991) 431-440. Let E be the fundamental unit of a real quadratic field of discriminant d and let integers V, and U" be defined by (V" + u&ii/2 = &". It is well known that it p is any odd prime, then p 1 U,,,, where m =p -x and x is the value of the Legendre symbol (d/p). In this paper several formulas are derived for the value of CJJp (modp) for the case in which p i d. 1. IntcotIuction Let E = (V + Ufi)/2 be the fundamental unit of the real quadratic field X with fundamental discriminant d and define integers V,, U, by V,Hlti 2" =(V+;~)"_ U-1) * Research supported by NSERC of Canada grant #A7649.
