Hello MHB,
I wounder if I did understand correct, If we got 3 vector and they all are orthogonala, $$v_1=(x_1,y_1,z_1)$$,$$v_2=(x_2,y_2,z_2)$$,$$v_3=(x_3,y_3,z_3)$$ does that also mean that the matrix orthogonal so the invrese for the matrix is transport?

Regards,
$$|\pi\rangle$$

Close, but not quite. A matrix being orthogonal means that its columns are orthonormal.

How can I check if a columns are orthonormal? If I got it correct if $$v_1,v_2,v_3$$ shall be orthonormal that means that $$v_1*v_2*v_3=0$$

Check that $v_{i} \cdot v_{j}=\delta_{ij}$. Here
$$\delta_{ij}=\begin{cases}0,\quad &i \not=j \\ 1,\quad &i=j \end{cases}$$
is the Kronecker delta.
 
Thread 'Determine whether ##125## is a unit in ##\mathbb{Z_471}##'
This is the question, I understand the concept, in ##\mathbb{Z_n}## an element is a is a unit if and only if gcd( a,n) =1. My understanding of backwards substitution, ... i have using Euclidean algorithm, ##471 = 3⋅121 + 108## ##121 = 1⋅108 + 13## ##108 =8⋅13+4## ##13=3⋅4+1## ##4=4⋅1+0## using back-substitution, ##1=13-3⋅4## ##=(121-1⋅108)-3(108-8⋅13)## ... ##= 121-(471-3⋅121)-3⋅471+9⋅121+24⋅121-24(471-3⋅121## ##=121-471+3⋅121-3⋅471+9⋅121+24⋅121-24⋅471+72⋅121##...
