Georgetown University Modular Arithmetic Questions
Description
1. Consider the equation
197x?367 mod 419
Suppose that I claimed that x?155 is the solution. Write a few lines (line?) of Python code which verify that I am correct.
2. Do the same with the claim that x?25 is a solution of the equation
x2 ?4x+ 19 ?125 mod 419
3. Solve the following modular equations.
(a) 7x?6 mod 25
(b) 3x+ 2 ?1 ?xmod 21
(c) 10001x?4 mod 101
Hint: What is 100 mod 101? What is 10000 mod 101?
(d) 50x?x?2 mod 155
4. Find an integer n>2 where 3 does not divide n and 3n?1 ? 1 mod n
5. Compute the following number without the use of a computer:
11371495005541085992897640328743727364597182772002 mod 101
Your answer should be among 0,1,2,…,100. Note that 101 is a prime number.
