8:55 The divisions are backwards, should be n_i divides (x-y), for all n_i. Therefore x-y must have the product of all n_i, so it is a multiple of N, giving the result x == y (mod N).

[@emperornortoni2871]

I earnestly thought I was losing my mind. Thanks.

[@matematicacommarcospaulo]

How can I prove that if each n_i divides x-y, then the product of all n_i also divides x-y?

[@williamperez-hernandez3968]

@@matematicacommarcospaulo Since n_i and n_j are relative primes, the prime factorization of n_i has primes not present in n_j. Therefore, x-y has all the primes of n_i and n_j in its prime factorization. This is true for the complete set {n_k}. So N has product of all different primes forming the set, as also does x-y.

[@user-cr4fc3nj3i]

At 16:37, before he said "and that will be our "nicest" answer", I was already doing the calculation in my head. I wasn't being careful because it is just simple arithmetic, just 689-630. Then I started to take my time and I got "69" exactly at the same timing that when he said "the "nicest" answer". And I was like "oh hahahaha I see what you did there". Then when he wrote down 59 I then quickly realized how dumb I was 😂

Theres a really nice generalization of the CRT for ideals of a commutative ring which lets you apply it in a wider context. It can also be used to get a simple proof of the multiplicativity of the totient function.

[@theRealdesaro]

what's the name of that theorem?

[@Chris_5318]

The inverse calculations can be done more systematically by noting that b^(-1) = b^(φ(n) - 1) (mod n) e.g. 2^(-1) = 2^(4-1) = 2^3 = 8 = 3 (mod 5) Note that for the CRT we have guaranteed that gcd(b,n) = 1 and so it satisfies the conditions of Euler's theorem (FLT generalisation).

Just a trivial thing I've noticed at the "table" at 24:38. From the congruences "3⁻¹ (mod 4) ≡ 3 (mod 4)" and "2⁻¹ (mod 3) ≡ 2 (mod 3)", I got inspired and then realized that it is always true that "(n-1)⁻¹ (mod n) ≡ (n-1) (mod n)" The proof is trivial and is left as an exercise to the reader.

[@Boringpenguin]

(n-1)(n-1) = n^2 - 2n +1 ≡ 1 (mod n), or even simpler, (n-1)(n-1) ≡ (-1)(-1) ≡ 1 (mod n), so n-1 is always its own inverse modulo n.

[@bobh6728]

Help me understand. What does the inverse mean in 3(inverse) (mod 4)? Is it 1/3? I’m missing something.

[@DilipKumar-ns2kl]

Check this.Your first example can be generalized (in fact any example to solve given the divisors) If x=a(mod 3), x=b(mod7) & x=c(mod10) then required number N is given by N=70a+120b+21c (mod 210).

Dear Michael, I want to request something from you. Could you, please, give a series of lectures on KZbin on some more advanced topics, like you did with your research interest, the vertex algebra. I mean here particularly some analytic number theory, like maybe the Prime Number Theorem (to deal with the famous asymptotic of the number of primes up to something), or maybe some algebraic number theory, geometry of numbers, etc. That's on number theory. But not only that, if you could include some measure theory, like some ergodic properties, etc. I mean if you could do something on the undergraduate upper level or the first year of graduate level courses. I know that is much of a hassle, but please consider doing that once a while when you have some time... please....

Doing the second homework problem, I figured that I could apply the CRT to pairs of the equations and combine them, so I started by solving the mod 2 and 5 giving x = 6 mod 10 and the mod 3 and 7 giving x = 6 mod 21, then I stared at it for a second and went “… is it just 6?”

At 25:30 Michael says we need to check this solution 53 against the original problem. Is that really necessary? Or is that just a double check for errors? I can't see any case where the solution wouldn't work if you do the previous steps correctly.

Sorry I would like to ask: Why 2^-1(mod7) is congruent to 4(mod7)?

[@pakornlim4343]

2inverse mod 7 means that 2 times 2inverse = 1 mod 7 but we found that 2 times 2inverse = 8 mod 7 so, 2inverse = 4 mod 7.

[@Boringpenguin]

That is because (2)(4) = 8 ≡ 1 (mod 7) We say a is the inverse of x modulo n if ax ≡ 1 (mod n), and we will usually denote a as x^-1

[@iabervon]

Since 4 and 15 are relatively prime and their product is a multiple of 10, you could solve the system with just 4 and 15, and check whether the answer works for 10. Also, if there are two congruences that are easy to combine, you can do that and have fewer, larger congruences to work with. For example, if you've got several that are 0 (mod something), you can find x to be 0 mod their lcm without working out any of the details, since you're going to multiply by a_i=0. It's also worth noting that you can reuse a lot of computation if you want to do a bunch of systems if you can pick the n_i to be the same for all the systems.
