What are the possible remainders when the $110^{th}$ power of an integer is divided by $121$? [duplicate]

This question already has an answer here:




  • How do I compute $a^b,bmod c$ by hand?

    9 answers




I was checking the following Euler's theorem exercise:




What are the possible remainders when the $110^{th}$ power of an integer is divided by $121$?




I've started working from calculating $phi (110) = 40$



Now I'm thinking about applying $mod 121$ but I'm unable to. So now I'm maybe in the wrong way. Any help or clue will be really appreciated.

We need $phi(121)=11cdot10implies a^{110}equiv1pmod{121}$ for $11nmid aiff(a,11)=1$



What if $11mid a?$

    $begingroup$

    $phi (110)$ is utterly irrelevent.



    Euler's theorem tells us about $a^k pmod {n}$ and how $k$ and $phi(n)$ relate.



    $phi (k)$ has got sod all to do with fish and fishsticks.



    So we want to know how $110$ and $phi(121)= phi(11^2) = 11(11-1)$ relate.



    How do they relate?



    ....



    So we can break your task into the following.



    1) Figuring out what $phi(121)=phi(11^2) = 11(11-1)$ is.



    2) Figuring how $110$ relates to $phi(121)$. In particular what $100 mod phi(121)$ is.



    3) Figuring if $gcd(a,121)=1$ then what is $110 pmod {phi(121)}equiv a^{(110 %{phi(121)})}$ are for the different values of $a$ so that $gcd(a,121) = 1$.



    4) Figure out what happens when $gcd(a,121) ne 1$.



    Now as the prime factorization of $121 = 11^2$ and $phi(11^2) = 11(11-1)$.....



    Those become fairly easy questions.
