Enter Modular Exponentiation

Solve 315 mod 17 using:

Modular exponentiation

Build an algorithm:

n is our exponent = 15

y = 1 and u ≡ 3 mod 17 = 3

See here

n = 15 is odd

Since 15 is odd, calculate (y)(u) mod p

(y)(u) mod p = (1)(3) mod 17

(y)(u) mod p = 3 mod 17

3 mod 17 = 3
Reset y to this value

Determine u2 mod p

u2 mod p = 32 mod 17

u2 mod p = 9 mod 17

9 mod 17 = 9
Reset u to this value

Cut n in half and take the integer

15 ÷ 2 = 7

n = 7 is odd

Since 7 is odd, calculate (y)(u) mod p

(y)(u) mod p = (3)(9) mod 17

(y)(u) mod p = 27 mod 17

27 mod 17 = 10
Reset y to this value

Determine u2 mod p

u2 mod p = 92 mod 17

u2 mod p = 81 mod 17

81 mod 17 = 13
Reset u to this value

Cut n in half and take the integer

7 ÷ 2 = 3

n = 3 is odd

Since 3 is odd, calculate (y)(u) mod p

(y)(u) mod p = (10)(13) mod 17

(y)(u) mod p = 130 mod 17

130 mod 17 = 11
Reset y to this value

Determine u2 mod p

u2 mod p = 132 mod 17

u2 mod p = 169 mod 17

169 mod 17 = 16
Reset u to this value

Cut n in half and take the integer

3 ÷ 2 = 1

n = 1 is odd

Since 1 is odd, calculate (y)(u) mod p

(y)(u) mod p = (11)(16) mod 17

(y)(u) mod p = 176 mod 17

176 mod 17 = 6
Reset y to this value

Determine u2 mod p

u2 mod p = 162 mod 17

u2 mod p = 256 mod 17

256 mod 17 = 1
Reset u to this value

Cut n in half and take the integer

1 ÷ 2 = 0

Because n = 0, we stop

We have our answer
