Question
Squares are controlled modulo 16.
Preamble.
Recall the equivalence class, [a], of an integer, a, modulo an integer, b, is the
set of all integers c satisfying:
ca (modulo b),
read "c is equivalent to a modulo b", i.e.
blc-a,
read "b divides c-a", i.e. there exists an integer n satisfying:
bn=c-a,
(3)
read "c-a is divisible by b", e.g. the equivalence class, [3], of 3 modulo 16 is
the set of all integers c which are equivalent to 3 modulo 16, i.e. the set
(1)
(2)
..,-13, 3, 19, 35, ....
{cZ such that there exists an integer n satisfying 16n=c-3, i.e. c =
Intuitively, these are integers whose remainder is 3 upon division by 16, e.g.
16n+3}.
End preamble.
