I honestly haven't got a clue. My first guess would to be this is somehow a^(p-1) and then you could apply Fermat's Little Theorem. But that doesn't seem to help any.

I got it.
Now apply Wilsons theorem and the result should follow.

Excellent work, Jane.

I can only prove that

(p-1)! = -6(p-4)! = -1 (mod p)
So 6(p-4)! = 1 (mod p)
