How to find the smallest natural number $n$ such that $2^{n} equiv 111 pmod{125} $.
If we consider $pmod{5}$ then $2^n equiv 1 pmod{5}$. For $n=4k+l$ where $l in left{ 0, 1, 2, 3right}$ we get $16^k 2^l equiv 1 pmod{5}$ and $2^l equiv 1 pmod{5}$, which leads to $l=0$. Therefore, equation reduces to $16^k equiv 111 pmod{125}$.
What to do next?

I think $2^nequiv 111equiv -14pmod{125}$ implies that $2^nequiv 11pmod{25}$

@1ENİGMA1 That questions solves $n^3equiv888pmod{1000}$, which is quite a different question.

Next solve $16^kequiv11pmod{25}$, which yields $kequiv4pmod{5}$. Set $k=5m+4$ so that
$$16^kequiv16^4times(16^5)^mequiv36times76^mpmod{125}.$$
Because $36times66equiv1pmod{125}$ we now want to solve
$$76^mequiv66times111equiv76pmod{125},$$
which shows that $m=1$ will do, corresponding to $n=36$.
