Homework Statement
Reduce 34567 modulo 19.
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
I approached by first reducing 4567 modulo 18.
I got the following: 34567= 318*253+13=(318)253*313 congruent to 12531594323 congruent to 14 mod 19
Is this the correct approach? I am not sure where 14 came from in the end I just guess and checked until I found a value that worked which was 14. Any explanations on how to correctly find 14?
