Math question anti-mod?

<< < (2/2)

Ulciscor:
A product of primes is divisible by one, which isn't a prime number. Am I missing something here?

Numsgil:
It could be a multiple of the product of the two primes.  For instance, if your two primes are 2 and 3, and you have 30 as the number, then you end up with a mod of 0.

However, a 5 has managed to creep into your number, which messes things up.

Modular math theory is covered in a subject called Abstact Algebra.  If you're interested, you should try and find a book on it at a library somewhere.

Okay, thanks
