Consider the statement, “The distinct congruence classes for congruence modulo n form a partition of ZZ”.
By using the theorem,
The relation of congruence modulo n is equivalence relation on Z.
As with any equivalence relation, the equivalence classes for congruence modulo n form a partition of ZZ, that is, they separate ZZ into mutually disjoint subsets.These are called congruence classes or residue classes.
Hence, the statement, “The distinct congruence classes for congruence modulo n form a partition of ZZ” is true.
