contents Let $E$ be an elliptic curve defined over $\mathbb Q$ and $\widetilde{E}_p$ denote the reduction of $E$ modulo a prime $p$ of good reduction for $E$. The divisibility of $|\widetilde{E}_{p}(\mathbb{F}_p)|$ by an integer $m\ge 2$ for a set of primes $p$ of density $1$ is determined by the torsion subgroups of elliptic curves that are $\mathbb Q$-isogenous to $E$. In this work, we give explicit families of elliptic curves $E$ over $\mathbb Q$ together with integers $m_E$ such that the congruence class of $|\widetilde{E}_p(\mathbb{F}_p)|$ modulo $m_E$ can be computed explicitly. In addition, we can estimate the density of primes $p$ for which each congruence class occurs. These include elliptic curves over $\mathbb Q$ whose torsion grows over a quadratic field $K$ where $m_E$ is determined by the $K$-torsion subgroups in the $\mathbb Q$-isogeny class of $E$. We also exhibit elliptic curves over $\mathbb Q(t)$ for which the orders of the reductions of every smooth fiber modulo primes of positive density strictly less than $1$ are divisible by given small integers.

Let $E$ be an elliptic curve defined over $\mathbb Q$ and $\widetilde{E}_p$ denote the reduction of $E$ modulo a prime $p$ of good reduction for $E$. The divisibility of $|\widetilde{E}_{p}(\mathbb{F}_p)|$ by an integer $m\ge 2$ for a set of primes $p$ of density $1$ is determined by the torsion subgroups of elliptic curves that are $\mathbb Q$-isogenous to $E$. In this work, we give explicit families of elliptic curves $E$ over $\mathbb Q$ together with integers $m_E$ such that the congruence class of $|\widetilde{E}_p(\mathbb{F}_p)|$ modulo $m_E$ can be computed explicitly. In addition, we can estimate the density of primes $p$ for which each congruence class occurs. These include elliptic curves over $\mathbb Q$ whose torsion grows over a quadratic field $K$ where $m_E$ is determined by the $K$-torsion subgroups in the $\mathbb Q$-isogeny class of $E$. We also exhibit elliptic curves over $\mathbb Q(t)$ for which the orders of the reductions of every smooth fiber modulo primes of positive density strictly less than $1$ are divisible by given small integers.
