Abstract
Let Fq be a finite field with q elements and n=l1 m1l2m2, m1≤1, m2≥1, where l1, l2 are distinct primes and l1 l2 |q-1. In this paper, we give all irreducible factors of xl1m1l2 m2-1 over Fq and all primitive idempotents in a ring Fq[x]/〈xl1 m1 l2 m2 -1〉. Furthermore, we obtain the dimensions and the minimum Hamming distances of all irreducible cyclic codes of length l1m1l2m2 over Fq.
