[[Congruence]] How to solve for n. 5n≅4 (mod 3) and 8n≅3(mod 4) ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

≅ this stuff is 'three short dashed lines'.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

when 8n divide by 4 give remainder 0 !!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its impossible to have 8n≅3(mod 4)

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

how i understand this: 5n≅4 (mod 3) solve for 4(mod 3) first 4(mod 3) = 1 because 4 divided by 3 has remainder 1 5n≅1 divide both sides by 5 n≅1/5

@lyy1992 am i right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i guess there is no solution for this one 5n≅4 (mod 3) since the value of 5n(mod 3) are just 0,2,and 1. as well as 8n≅3(mod 4), the value of 8n(mod 4) is just 0. am i right? kinda confused...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ur right~ @mukushla

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5n≅2n≅0,1,2 (mod 3) also impossible so ther is no solution for n

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and yes u r right
