Let $X = \{0,1,2,3,\ldots,99\}$. For $a, b$ in $X$, we define $a * b$ to be the remainder obtained by dividing the product $ab$ by 100. For example, $9 * 18 = 62$ and $7 * 5 = 35$. Let $x$ be an element in $X$. An element $y$ in $X$ is called the inverse of $x$ if $x * y = 1$. Find all elements of $X$ that have inverses and write down their inverses.
Let $g(n) = 5^k$ where $k$ is the number of distinct primes dividing $n$, and let $h(n) = 0$ if $n$ is divisible by $k^2$ for some integer $k > 1$, and $h(n) = 1$ otherwise.
a) Show that $g(mn) = g(m)g(n)$ does not hold in general, and determine when it holds.
b) Show that $h(mn) = h(m)h(n)$ for all positive integers $m, n$.
