SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on finding all integers \( n \) for which the equation \( 8^3 \equiv 4 \mod n \) holds true. The correct integers identified are \( n = 127, 254, \) and \( 508 \). The calculations demonstrate that \( 512 - 4 = 508 \) and the divisors of \( 508 \) lead to the valid solutions. This analysis confirms the application of modular arithmetic in solving the equation.

for the equation $8\cdot8\cdot 8=4$. Find all integers $n$ for which this statement is true, modulo $n$.

ok so
$$8^3-(4)=508$$
508/4=127
508/127=4
then
2^2\cdot 127 = 508

ok I'm sure this is not the proper process
