Abstract(in English) There are three functions for expressing properties of the multiplicative group Z^*_n: φ(n) for the cardinality of all elements, λ(n) for the maximum order of elements, and ψ_n(d) for the cardinality of elements each with a given order d, where φ(・) denotes Euler's totient function, λ(・) denotes Carmicael's function, and d is a divisor of λ(n). Euler showed the function φ(n) for any composite n. Carmicael showed the function λ(n) for any composite n. Gauss showed the equation ψ_p(d)=φ(d) that holds for an odd prime p. In this paper, we show a new function ψ_n(d) for the cardinality of elements each with a given order d in Z^*_n for any composite n, where d is a divisor of λ(n). And we show that this new function can be used counting the cardinality of k-ic power residue/nonresidue elements in Z^*_n.
