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?

Hey bmorgan and welcome to the forums.

Are you aware of Fermats theorem and Eulers theorem for exponent problems?

Also are you doing this as part of structured coursework/research or as something akin to self-study?
 
Boy, am I confused!
bmorgan appears to have written

but chiro quotes

I really wish people would not edit quite so heavily!

But the original problem posted is certainly non-trivial while the new one is, to put it simply, trivial- at least to anyone who would be expected to solve the first problem.

bmorgan, do you know what "logarithm base 10" means?

100000000 equals 10 to what power?
 
Naughty boy mr bmorgan!
 

Thread 'What Exactly is Dirac’s Delta Function? - Insight'

Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...

Thread 'Fermat's Last Theorem'

Fermat's Last Theorem has long been one of the most famous mathematical problems, and is now one of the most famous theorems. It simply states that the equation $$ a^n+b^n=c^n $$ has no solutions with positive integers if ##n>2.## It was named after Pierre de Fermat (1607-1665). The problem itself stems from the book Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria. It gained popularity because Fermat noted in his copy "Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et...

Thread 'Useless continued fraction for 1'

I'm interested to know whether the equation $$1 = 2 - \frac{1}{2 - \frac{1}{2 - \cdots}}$$ is true or not. It can be shown easily that if the continued fraction converges, it cannot converge to anything else than 1. It seems that if the continued fraction converges, the convergence is very slow. The apparent slowness of the convergence makes it difficult to estimate the presence of true convergence numerically. At the moment I don't know whether this converges or not.
