Enter a mod b statement

(mod )
  

Answer
Success!
Since -1/7 ≠ -1 with no remainder, this congruence relation does not hold

↓Steps Explained:↓

3 ≡ 4(mod 7)

For a ≡ b (mod n) to hold, n must divide a - b

a - b
n
  
3 - 4
7

Plug in a = 3, b = 4, and n = 7

a - b
n
  
3 - 4
7

a - b
n
  
-1
7

Since -1/7 ≠ -1 with no remainder, this congruence relation does not hold
