Problem
Let and
satisfy
and
. Find the remainder when
is divided by
.
Solution
The first condition implies
So .
Putting each side to the power of :
so . Specifically,
so we have that
We only wish to find . To do this, we note that
and now, by the Chinese Remainder Theorem, wish only to find
. By Euler's Theorem:
so
so we only need to find the inverse of . It is easy to realize that
, so
Using CRT, we get that , finishing the solution.
