Popis: A. Kulakoff (Math. Ann. 104 (1931), 778-793) proved that for p > 2 p > 2 the number of solutions of the equation x p k = e {x^{{p^k}}} = e ( e e is a unit element of G G ) in a finite noncyclic p p -group G G is divisible by p k + 1 {p^{k + 1}} if exp ⁡ G ≥ p k \operatorname {exp} G \geq {p^k} . In this note we consider the number N ( a , G , k ) N(a,G,k) of solutions of the equation x p k = a {x^{{p^k}}} = a in G , a ∈ G G,\;a \in G . Our results cover the case p = 2 p = 2 also.
