Prove the transitivity of modular congruence. That is, prove that for all integers a,b,c, and n with n > 1, if a = b(mod n) and b = c(mod n) then a = c(mod n).

Prove the transitivity of modular congruence. That is, prove that for all integers a,b,c, and n with n > 1, if .
The transitivity of modular congruence is that for all integers a, b, c and n with n > 1, if If , then there exists integers k and k’ such that, Adding these two equations yields where, k +k’ is an integer. And so Conclusion: The theorem of transitivity of modular congruence is proved.
