Primitive roots of 1 mod p^k (k>2 and odd prime p) are sought, in cyclic units group G_k = A_k B_k mod p^k, coprime to p, of order (p-1)p^{k-1}. 'Core' subgroup A_k has order p-1 independent of k, and p+1 generates 'extension' subgroup B_k of all p^{k-1} residues 1 mod p. Divisors r,t of powerful generator p-1=rs=tu of \pm B_k mod p^k, and of p+1, are investigated as primitive root candidates. Fermat's Small Theorem: x^{p-1} \e 1 mod p for 0
