Theorem 1 The Jacobi symbol has the following properties:
(i) (1P)=1\left(\frac{1}{P}\right)=1; when (d,P)>1(d, P)>1, (dP)=0\left(\frac{d}{P}\right)=0; when (d,P)=1(d, P)=1, (dP)\left(\frac{d}{P}\right) takes values ±1\pm 1.
(ii) (dP)=(d+PP)\left(\frac{d}{P}\right)=\left(\frac{d+P}{P}\right).
(iii) (dcP)=(dP)(cP)\left(\frac{d c}{P}\right)=\left(\frac{d}{P}\right)\left(\frac{c}{P}\right).
(iv) (dP1P2)=(dP1)(dP2)\left(\frac{d}{P_{1} P_{2}}\right)=\left(\frac{d}{P_{1}}\right)\left(\frac{d}{P_{2}}\right).
(v) When (P,d)=1(P, d)=1, (d2P)=(dP2)=1\left(\frac{d^{2}}{P}\right)=\left(\frac{d}{P^{2}}\right)=1.
