rse of 11 mod 29, proceed as in the first part above. 40 = 11 mod 29 because 40 is 11 more than a multiple of 29. That is, when we divide 40 by 29, we get a remainder of 11: 40 = 1*29 + 11 ^^ the remainder I hope this helps. Please write back if you'd like to talk about this some more. - Doctor Paul, The Math Forum http://mathforum.org/dr.math/
