Examples Problems
1. Find the solution of the congruence 6 x 3 (mod 9)
Solution: Fro1n the given congruence relation one can check that 2, 5, 8 are
the solutions. The sa1ne solution can be obtained by another method by the
theore1n ( stated in the previous slide/ page).
Since gcd( 6, 9) = 3 and 3 divides 3, hence the congruence has three
s_olutions. The solution of the given congruence can be obtained by solving
linear congruence 2 x 1 (rnod s).
By Choosing X = 0 , 1, 2 and testing the congruence, vve get X = 2.
Thus the first solution to the given congruence is x 0 = 2.
Comparing the given congruence relation vvith ax b (mob m),
we have a = 6, b = 3, m = 9.
Thus the other solutions are
m m
x1 = x0 + -d = 2 + 3 = 5 and x2 = x0 + 2 -d = 2 + 6 = 8
Thus, the solutions are 2,5 and 8.
Explanation: Here
gcd of (3,7) is 1 so its
inverse will exist. We
have
3x≡1(mod 7) which
implies:
3x-7y=1.
By Euclid theorem,
1=(-2)*3+7*1. Here
multiple of 3 is -2 so
the inverse of 3
modulo 7 is -2.
Remarks:
b is the residue of a≡b mod(m) if m|(a-b).
Example:
1. 89≡ 25 (mod 4)
2. 157≡ -7 (mod 4)
3. -28≡ 2 (mod 4)
