For a given sequence {am} and p≠0, Schur (2) defined

In particular if p is a prime, a an integer and , then by Fermat's theorem

is integral. Schur proved that if pa, then all the derivatives

are integral. Zorn (3) using p-adic methods proved Schur's results and also found the residue of Xm (mod pm), where and x = 1 (mod p). The writer (1) proved Zorn's congruences by elementary methods as well as certain additional results of a similar sort.
