Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In a modular arithmetic system, if a ≡ b (mod m), which of the following statements is true?
  • Step 1: Understand what 'a ≡ b (mod m)' means. It means that when you divide a and b by m, they leave the same remainder.
  • Step 2: Recognize that if a and b leave the same remainder when divided by m, then the difference (a - b) must be a multiple of m.
  • Step 3: Conclude that 'a - b' is divisible by m, which is the key idea behind modular arithmetic.
