I have a question about properties of the multiplicative groups. Let we have finite field of prime order $2^k$ -1. $k$ is co-prime with $$\frac{2^k-2}{k}$$. It is clear that multiplicative group of such field has subgroup of order. $$\frac{2^k-2}{k}$$. How it is possible to find generator $g$ of this subgroup (this subgroup is always cyclic). For example for $k=5$ $g=6$ For example for $k=7$ $g=24$
