discrete mathematics - Calculate 15843pmod11





Calculate 15843(mod11)




My solution



Fermat's little theorem



Since 154(mod11) and according Fermat's Little Theorem




4101(mod11),

we shall have



1584348434840×43(410)84×4343649(mod11)



Is this correct?


Answer




Is this correct?





It is.



Fermat's little theorem is indeed one very useful tool to finding the answer, and in case you have any doubt whether you got that part right, you can verify that:



410=1048576=11×95325+11(mod11)



The rest is just using the properties of modular arithmetic to replace some terms by congruent but simpler terms. Done explicitely, and correctly, so I see no reason to doubt the result.
