a(7,2) = 3 because A216319(7,2) = 3 and 3^1 == 3 (Modd 7);
3^2 = 9 == 5 (Modd 7) because floor(9/7)= 1 which is odd, therefore 9 (Modd 7) = -9 (mod 7) = 5; 3^3 == 5*3 (Modd n)
= +1 because floor(15/7)=2 which is even, therefore 15 (Modd 7) = 15 (modd 7) = +1.
Row n=12 is the first row without an order = delta(n) (row length), in this case 4. Therefore there is no primitive root Modd 12, and the multiplicative group Modd 12 is non-cyclic.
Its cycle structure is [[5,1],[7,1],[11,1]] which is the group Z_2 x Z_2 (the Klein 4-group).
