How does 2x8+1 equal 1521? So confused.
Solution
2x8+1=1521 is true under the modulo 8 system of number.
LHS: 2*8+1 = 1 (mod 8)
RHS:1521(mod8)= The remainder after 1521 is divided by 8 =1, as 1521 divided by 8=190 quotient + 1 remainder.
Therefore, LHS=RHS , in modular 8 system.
Also LHS: 2x8+1 = 1 (Mod16) and
RHS= 1(Mod16) .So under the,mod16 number system also the given relation is congruent.
