If we now make the assumption that q is a quadratic residue of all odd primes z not greater than 2m + 1, then it follows from earlier theorems (§37) that the prime q, since it is ≡ 1 (mod 8) and hence a quadratic residue of each power of 2, is also a quadratic residue of each number which has no odd prime factors except the prime numbers z
text: 1999, Dinakar Ramakrishnan, Robert J. Valenza, Tsinghua University Press [清华大学出版社有限公司], Fourier Analysis on Number Fields, page 213,
Of special importance here is the quadratic reciprocity law, which for primes p and q gives a precise relationship between the status of p as a quadratic residue mod q and the status of q as a quadratic residue mod p.
