Definitions
Division algorithm Let a be an integer and d a positive integer. Then there are unique integers q and r with 0r<d such that a=dq+r
q is called the quotient and r is called the remainder
q=a ÷ d
r=abmodd
Theorem 5 Let m be a positive integer. If ab(bmodm) and cd(bmodm), then a+cb+d(bmodm) and acbd(bmodm).
Solution
a=11(bmod19)
b3(bmod19)
0c18
Use theorem 5:
c13a(bmod19)
=1311(bmod19)
=143(bmod19)
=10(bmod19)
We then obtain c=10 with 0c18.
