modular arithmetic - How to compute 39pmod10




The solution given was:



39=(27)3=73=49(7)=9(7)=63=3



I understand up to  39=(27)3 But after that I am lost. Can someone explain how to solve this and what is going on here?


Answer



The 27 was replaced with a 7 because 27\pmod{10}=7. The same concept arose with the 49 later, as 49\pmod{10}=9, and likewise 63\pmod{10}=3. This is why the values greater than 10 are switched.
