;E.G.:
Given a Pisano period function: pisano(x), and a least common multiple function lcm(x, y):
<big>'''pisano(m × n)''' is equivalent to '''lcm(pisano(m), pisano(n))''' where '''m''' and '''n''' are '''[[wp:Coprime|coprime]]'''</big>
A formulae to calculate the pisano period for integer powers &nbsp; '''k''' &nbsp; of prime numbers &nbsp; '''p''' &nbsp; is:
is:
<big>'''pisano(p<sup>k</sup>) == p<sup>(k-1)</sup>pisano(p)''' </big>
The equation is conjectured, no exceptions have been seen.
 
If a positive integer &nbsp; '''i''' &nbsp; is split into its prime factors, &nbsp; then the second and first equations above can be applied to generate the pisano period.
