  • This tutorial shows how to find the inverse of a number when dealing with a modulus. When dealing with modular arithmetic, numbers can only be represented as integers ranging from 0 to ( the modulus minus 1 ). This tutorial shows one method that can be used when solving for an inverse of modular arithmetic.

    Thank you for explaining it so well. I hate it when some other mathematicians just show off by being cryptic, its so frustrating. Your tutorial was a tiny tad slower but made it so much easier to follow and learn. Thanks.

      The thing is that mathematicians use symbolic representations and formulas to summarize stuff in a compact way - but that's terrible for explanation. They should refrain from doing that and instead explain things in a human-friendly way!

    This makes sense now! I decrypted an affine cipher, but afterwards, I couldn’t figure out how I got -5 as the inverse of 5 or how it worked. After watching this video, I worked it out and got -5 again. Apparently, I’m just the type of person to use actual math successfully by accident.

    If that is the case, I would guess that you simplified a little early. When doing this process, it is important to leave terms as multiples of two numbers, so that one of the numbers can be replaced by an equation above. I hope that helps. :)

  • @learnmathtutorials
    @learnmathtutorials  11 лет назад +2

    Thank you. Not every number in a mod field will necessarily have an inverse. For example 2 (mod 4) does not have and inverse since 2*0 = 0 (mod 4) .... 2*1 = 2 (mod 4) ... 2*2 = 0 (mod 4) ...2*3 = 2 (mod 4) ... none of these results produce 1 (mod 4) and you have checked 2*0 , 2*1 ,..., 2*(n-2) , 2*(n-1) where n is the mod.

    1001 = 200(5) + 1 Rewrite as 1 = 1001 + 200(-5) (mod 1001) Note that 1001 (mod 1001) = 0 and also (-5) (mod 1001) = 996 since 1001 - 5 = 996 then we have 1 = 0 + 200(996) therefore 1 = 200(996) (mod 1001) Then 996 is the inverse of 200 (mod 1001) You can check the result by looking at 996(200) = 199200 = 199(1001) + 1 (mod 1001) and anything times the mod is 0 so we get 996(200) = 1 (mod 1001) I tried to format this nicely but it gets all jumbled together when I post it as a comment.

      He basically found the gcd of 392 and 27. Then he used the steps to build up Bezout identity.
      This identity is the key to solve the problem.
      A little refresh:
      Euclidian algorithm says that if a and b are two positive integers and
      a=b*q+r
      Then gcd(a,b)=gcd(b,r).
      We use the division algorithm until we find 0 as a remainder (in this case he skipped this part).
      Notice we found that gcd(392,27)=1 which is very important.
      Next we have Bezout theorem.
      It says that if gcd(a,b)=d then we can find integers r and s such that
      a*r+b*s=d.
      Using the steps from the euclidian algorithm we can build up this identity.
      Finally we use this identity to solve the problem.
      Why is it important to have 1 as the gcd?
      Because if the gcd(a,b)≠1 then b has no inverse mod a.

    It did help to explain what the textbook had in written words and figures...but it is still difficult because you still have to go through all the numbers on the Euclidean algorithm to get to the bottom of this. So imagine if you have a gcd(80, 98) it would be endless!!

    Much easier way:. With a pocket calculator perform the Euclidean algorithm procedure to get the continued fraction quotients and the convergent, = [14, 1, 1, 13] and underneath we have the convergents [ 1/14, 1/15, 2/29 and 27/392} With an even number of terms in the partial quotient part (we have four), we take the 392 (rightmost denominator) and subtract the denominator to the left (a 29), giving 363, (correct.). However, if the number of quotients is odd, just extract the denominator to the left of the rightmost. Example: Fine 2^(-1) mod 29. Our data is [14, 1, 1]. and underneath we write[ (1/14, 1/15, 2/29]. Denominator to left of the 29 = 15 (correct, since 2 * 15 = 1 mod 29.

    In the step where you calculated 363 by subtracting 29 from 392 (392-29=363) does the negative come from the -29? So if 29 were positive would you add 29 to 392?

      @waltvanamstel6807 9 лет назад +5

      Logan Koester He found the answer to be -29. That is a valid answer, but you will often be asked to find the positive inverse. -29 and 363 are essentially the same number under mod 392.
