Abstract:
We prove that any set of integers with lies in at least many residue classes modulo most primes . (Here is a positive constant.) This generalizes a result of Erdos and Ram Murty, who proved in connection with Artin's conjecture on primitive roots that the integers below which are multiplicatively generated by the coprime integers (i.e. whose counting function is also ) lie in at least residue classes, modulo most small primes , where as .
