How to find large modulus on Casio fx-991 MS

In summary, to find modulus using a calculator, divide the dividend by the divisor, note the answer and discard all decimals, then multiply the answer by the divisor and subtract it from the original dividend. For larger numbers, you can break down the problem into smaller parts to make it easier to calculate.

Hi pals,
I am looking to find a modulus calculation using my casio fx-991 ms calculator

i know how to find modulus using small numbers

eg: 7 mod 3 = 1. This because 7 = 3(2) + 1, in which 1 is the remainder. To do this process on a simple calculator do the following: Take the dividend (7) and divide by the divisor (3), note the answer and discard all the decimals -> example 7/3 = 2.3333333, only worry about the 2. Now multiply this number by the divisor (3) and subtract the resulting number from the original dividend. so 2*3 = 6, and 7 - 6 = 1, thus 1 is 7mod3


but i need to find
5^36 mod 97

it's answer is 50

but when i do i don't get the full number in calculator it show 1.4500000x 10^34

but i don't know how to calculate mod use this type of result .

please advise me

Thanks
Anes

You'll have to do some calculations yourself, I think.

5^36 = (5^3)^12 = 125^12
125^12 mod 97 = (125 mod 97)^12 mod 97 (using computer notation, not mathematical notation).
125 mod 97 is easy to evaluate.
You can repeat those steps until the number is small enough for the calculator.

Dear Mentor ,
I don't get your point fully . please solve (28)^12 mod 97 in next step.

Thanks

(28)^12 = (28^2)^6 for example. You can just repeat that step.

Thanks dear mentor i got the ultimate answer now

(28^2 mod 97)^6 mod 97 = (8)^6 mod 97 = 262,144 mod 97

which can find by

262,144/97 = 2702.515 take this 2702 as X

262,144 - 97*2702( we call it as X) = 50 (Ans)

Thanks a lot i believe my answer is good for those who look in futureAnes

For make this problem easeful , i gave 1 more example

5^58 mod 97

(5^2 mod 97)^29 mod 97

(25 mod 97)^29 mod 97
(25)^29 mod 97
25. (25)^8 mod 97 // because 29 cannot be factorized further
25.(25^4 mod 97)^7 mod 97

25.(6)^7 mod 97

25.91 mod 97

= 44(Ans)

Hope all understand

Thanks alot
