ܾܽ . Therefore, using

The only term in the expression that is not a multiple of n is

cd ൌ ab ሺmod nሻ

the addition law,

3) Power

If a ؠ b ሺmod nሻ, then a ୩ ؠ b ୩ ሺmod nሻ Proof:

Let b ൌ a ൅ pn ՜ b ୩ ൌ ሺa ൅ pnሻ ୩ =

܉ ܓ ൅ ൫ ୩ ଵ ൯ a ୩ିଵ ሺpnሻ ଵ +

൫ ୩ ଶ ൯ a ୩ିଶ ሺpnሻ ଶ +......+

From the binomial expansion, the only term not divisible by ݊ is ܽ ௞ . ࡼ࢘࢕࢈࢒ࢋ࢓ ૚: ࢃࢎ࢟ ࢏࢙ ࢇ࢔ ࢏࢔࢚ࢋࢍࢋ࢘ ࢊ࢏࢜࢏࢙࢏࢈࢒ࢋ ࢈࢟ ૜ ࢏ࢌ ࢇ࢔ࢊ ࢕࢔࢒࢟ ࢏ࢌ ࢏࢚࢙ ࢊ࢏ࢍ࢏࢚ ࢙࢛࢓ ࢏࢙ ࢊ࢏࢜࢏࢙࢏࢈࢒ࢋ ࢈࢟ ૜? A quick check on a few examples can be shown to be consistent with this rule. ૜૞ૠ ൌ 3x119 Digit sum check: 3 ൅ 5 ൅ 7 ൌ 15 ൌ 3x5 ૜૛ ൌ 10x3. . .2 Digit sum check: 3 ൅ 2 ൌ 5 ൌ 3x1 ൅ 2 This fact amazed me when I first encountered it, but I never understood why it works until I read about modular arithmetic. Proof: Notice that each integer can be broken down into a sum of integers that are multiples of powers of 10. ૜૞ૠ ൌ 300 ൅ 50 ൅ 7 ૜૛ ൌ 30 ൅ 2 We can express them individually as multiples of powers of 10. 300 ൌ 3x10 ଶ 50 ൌ 5x10 7 ൌ 7 Notice that 10 ؠ 1ሺmod 3ሻ . Using the power law, 10 ୩ ؠ 1 ୩ ሺmod 3ሻ , thus 10 ୩ ؠ
