The theory of numbers, by Robert D. Carmichael ...

46 THEORY OF NUMBERS be any linear congruence and let a and m have the greatest common divisor d (d _L ). Then a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of solutions of the congruence is that c be divisible by d. If this condition is satisfied the congruence has just d solutions, and all the solutions are congruent modulo m/d. EXERCISES i. Find the remainder when 240 is divided by 31; when 243 is divided by 31. 2. Show that 22 +I has the factor 64I. 3. Prove that a number is a multiple of 9 if and only if the sum of its digits is a multiple of 9. 4. Prove that a number is a multiple of ii if and only if the sum of the digits in the odd numbered places diminished by the sum of the digits in the even numbered places is a multiple of ii.
