Remainder Definition and 171 Threads

I am Sorry it's a silly question but its been bothering me, So I needed to ask... In the process of division, when there is a condition like- 4/5 when the divisor is greater then the dividend. why is the Remainder 4 ? as when the divisor is greater then the dividend then the division goes in...

Observe that ## 823\equiv 9\pmod {11}\equiv -2\pmod {11} ##. This implies ## 823^{823}\equiv (-2)^{823}\pmod {11} ##. Applying the Euler-Fermat theorem produces: ## gcd(-2, 11)=1 ## and ## (-2)^{\phi(11)}\equiv 1\pmod {11} ##. Since ## \phi(p)=p-1 ## where ## p ## is any prime, it follows that...

Consider a certain integer between ## 1 ## and ## 1200 ##. Then ## x\equiv 1\pmod {9}, x\equiv 10\pmod {11} ## and ## x\equiv 0\pmod {13} ##. Applying the Chinese Remainder Theorem produces: ## n=9\cdot 11\cdot 13=1287 ##. This means ## N_{1}=\frac{1287}{9}=143, N_{2}=\frac{1287}{11}=117 ## and...

Observe that ## 4444\equiv 7\pmod {9} ##. This means ## 4444^{4444}\equiv 7^{4444}\pmod {9}\equiv 7^{4+40+400+4000}\pmod {9} ##. Now we have \begin{align*} &7^{4}\equiv 7\pmod {9}\\ &7^{40}\equiv (7^{4})^{10}\pmod {9}\equiv 7^{10}\pmod {9}\equiv [(7^{4})^{2}\cdot 7^{2}]\pmod {9}\equiv...

Let ## n ## be an integer. Now we consider two cases. Case #1: Suppose ## n ## is even. Then ## n=2k ## for some ## k\in\mathbb{N} ##. Thus ## n^{5}=(2k)^{5}=32k^{5}\equiv 0 \pmod 4 ##. Case #2: Suppose ## n ## is odd. Then ## n=4k+1 ## or ## n=4k+3 ## for some ## k\in\mathbb{N} ##. Thus ##...
