摘要
Let the random variable X be distributed over the non-negative integers and let L-m and R-m be the quotient and the remainder in the division of X by m. It is shown that X is geometric if and only if L-m and R-m are independent for m = 2, 3,.... In similar terms is also characterized the exponential random variable.
