if $m$ is an integer and $\gcd(m,3)=1$,prove that $m^7\equiv m \pmod {63} $. I try using Fermat's Little Theorem,but it doesn't work. Please help me.

Hint $63=9*7$. Use Chinese Remainder Theorem.

With $\varphi(9)=6$, where $\varphi$ is the Euler Totient Function, and $(m,3)=1$: $$m^7\equiv m\mod 9$$ By FLT, we also have: $$m^7\equiv m\mod 7$$ Then using Chinese Remainder Theorem: $$m^7\equiv m\mod 63$$
