Enter Modular Exponentiation
Solve 36 mod 17 using:
Modular exponentiation
Build an algorithm:
n is our exponent = 6
y = 1 and u ≡ 3 mod 17 = 3
See here
n = 6 is even
Since 6 is even, we keep y = 1
Determine u2 mod p
u2 mod p = 32 mod 17
u2 mod p = 9 mod 17
9 mod 17 = 9
Reset u to this value
Cut n in half and take the integer
6 ÷ 2 = 3
n = 3 is odd
Since 3 is odd, calculate (y)(u) mod p
(y)(u) mod p = (1)(9) mod 17
(y)(u) mod p = 9 mod 17
9 mod 17 = 9
Reset y to this value
Determine u2 mod p
u2 mod p = 92 mod 17
u2 mod p = 81 mod 17
81 mod 17 = 13
Reset u to this value
Cut n in half and take the integer
3 ÷ 2 = 1
n = 1 is odd
Since 1 is odd, calculate (y)(u) mod p
(y)(u) mod p = (9)(13) mod 17
(y)(u) mod p = 117 mod 17
117 mod 17 = 15
Reset y to this value
Determine u2 mod p
u2 mod p = 132 mod 17
u2 mod p = 169 mod 17
169 mod 17 = 16
Reset u to this value
Cut n in half and take the integer
1 ÷ 2 = 0
Because n = 0, we stop
We have our answer
