    To solve for the value of the residues A, we can use the formula:

    A^2 = 1 (mod prime)

    This is only true for prime numbers. The given number which is 317 is a prime number therefore the values of the residues A are:

    A = + 1, - 1

    Since I believe the problem specifically states for the list of positive integers only and less than 317, a value of A = - 1 is therefore not valid. However, a value of - 1 in this case would simply be equal to:

    317 - 1 = 316

    Therefore the residue values A are 1 and 316.
