How to solve log22 for the prime p = 47, base is 10. I can convert this to 10^x = 22(mod 47). How to solve this problem?
Hello bmorgan. Welcome to PF !

It would help us answer your question for you to give the problem as it was given to you. It's very hard to tell what's being asked when you give us only pieces.

Also, according to the rules of this Forum, you need to show some effort towards solving the problem before we can respond. Let us know what you know and where you're stuck.
 
Hi, thanks for replying. After i convert the original equation, what is next step?

There's virtually no way to respond to this .

What is the question you were given ... WORD for WORD ?
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
