Find the inverse of:. $20 \mod 79, 3 \mod 62, 21 \mod 91, 5 \mod 23$

Short Answer

Expert verified

Inverse of the given numbers is obtained.

Step by step solution

Inverse of 20 mod 79

$\begin{array}{l} GCD (20, 79) \\ 79 = (20 \times 3, 19) \\ 20 = (19 \times 1, 1) \\ GCD (20, 79) = 1 so inverse of 20 \mod 79 \\ So, By backward substitution, \\ 1 = 20 - 1 \times 19 \\ = 20 - 1 \times (79 - 3 \times 20) \\ = 20 - 79 + 3 \times 20 \\ = 4 \times 20 - 1 \times 79 . \\ So, 20^{- 1} = 4 \mod 79 . \end{array}$

Inverse of 3 mod 62

$\begin{array}{l} GCD (3, 62) \\ 62 = (3 \times 30, 2) \\ 3 = (2 \times 1, 1) \\ GCD (3, 62) is 1 so, inverse of 3 \mod 62 is \\ 1 = 3 - 2 \\ = 3 - (62 - 20 \times 3) \\ = 3 - 62 + 20 \times 3 \\ = 21 \times 3 - 62 \times 1 \\ So, 3^{- 1} = 21 \mod 62 . \end{array}$

Inverse of 21 mod 91

$\begin{array}{l} GCD (21, 91) \\ 91 = 21 \times 4, 7 \\ 21 = 7 \times 3, 0 \\ So, Here GCD (21, 91) is 0 so inverse is not possible as per EuclidTheorem \end{array}$

Inverse of 5 mod 23

$\begin{array}{l} \begin{array}{l} GCD (5, 23) \\ 23 = (5 \times 4, 3) \\ 5 = (3 \times 1, 2) \\ 3 = (2 \times 1, 1) \\ GCD (5, 23) is equal to 1 so inverse of 5 \mod 23 \\ 1 = 3 - 2 \\ = 3 - (5 - 3) \\ = 3 \times 2 - 5 \times 1 \\ = (23 - 4 \times 5) \times 2 - 5 \times 1 \\ = 23 \times 2 - 9 \times 5 \end{array} \\ So, 5 - 1 = - 9 = 14 \mod 23 . \end{array}$

Hence, inverse of given numbers is obtained.
