Check if a solution exist for a linear congruence with possible zero variable












0












$begingroup$



(AX + B) mod D = C




I changed it form to AX ≡ (C-B) mod D then try to find if GCD(A,D)|(C-B) if so then a solution exist, but I think this method yields some false result when handling some zeros in it.



Is there any special case that must I know if I want to check if a linear congruence has a solution or not if there can be a one or more zero exist in the equation ?
Example : A and B could be zero, etc.
