Using Eulers Theorem find the least nonnegative residue mod

Using Euler\'s Theorem, find the least nonnegative residue mod m ofthe following integer n below.

198 29 20

Solution

a)

29=9 mod 20

So, 29^198=9^198 mod 20

9^2=81=1 mod 20

So,

9^198=(9^2)^99=1^99=1 mod 20

b)

79=81-2=-2 mod 9

So

79^79=(-2)^79

(-2)^3=-8=1 mod 9

(-2)^79=(-2)^78*(-2)=((-2)^3)^26*(-2)=-2 mod 9

So least non negative residue is -2+9=7

Using Euler\'s Theorem, find the least nonnegative residue mod m ofthe following integer n below. 198 29 20 Solutiona) 29=9 mod 20 So, 29^198=9^198 mod 20 9^2=8
