Math Problems: Inverses & Congruences

This document contains instructions on using different modular arithmetic theorems and algorithms to solve various congruences, including: 1) Using the extended Euclidean algorithm to find the multiplicative inverse of numbers modulo other numbers. 2) Using Fermat's theorem to find a number congruent to a given number modulo another. 3) Using Euler's theorem to find a number congruent to a large exponent modulo another. 4) Constructing a discrete logarithm table to solve congruences using a given primitive root.

1.

Using the extended Euclidean algorithm, find the multiplicative inverse of

(a) 1234 mod 4321

(b) 550 mod 1769

2. Use Fermat’s theorem to find a number ‘x’ between 0 and 72 with ‘x’ congruent to 9794 modulo
73.
3. Use Euler’s theorem to find a number ‘x’ between 0 and 9 such that ‘x’ is congruent to 7 1000
modulo 10.
4. Given 2 as a primitive root of 29, construct a table of discrete logarithms, and use it to solve the
following congruences:

(a) 17x2 ≡ 10 (mod 29)

(b) x2 - 4x - 16 ≡ 0 (mod 29)

(C) x7 ≡ 17 (mod 29)

By Euler's theorem, 7^φ(10) = 7^4 ≡ 1 mod 10. But then 7^1000 = (7^4)^250 ≡ 1^250 = 1 mod
10. So the answer is 1.
