Convert 34 and 34 to their congruent values in ... - SS1 Mathematics Modular Arithmetic Question

Convert 34 and −34 to their congruent values in mod 9

(a) \(34\ (mod\ 9)\ \equiv x\)

\[\frac{34}{9} = 3\ remainder\ \mathbf{7}\]

Thus, \(34\ (mod\ 9)\ \equiv \mathbf{7}\)

(b) \(- 34\ (mod\ 9)\ \equiv x\)

\[- 34 = x\ (mod\ 9)\ \ \]

\[- 34 = q.9 + x\]

\[- 34 = \ - 4(9) + x\]

\[- 34 = - 36 + x\]

\[- 34 + 36 = x\]

\[x = \mathbf{2}\]
