Let x = 2 1 3 3 . Note that 1 3 3 = 7 ∗ 1 9
x = 2 1 3 3 ≡ 2 1 3 3 ( m o d ϕ ( 7 ) ) ( m o d 7 )
→ x ≡ 2 1 3 3 ( m o d 6 ) ≡ 2 1 ≡ 2 ( m o d 7 )
And, x = 2 1 3 3 ≡ 2 1 3 3 ( m o d ϕ ( 1 9 ) ) ( m o d 1 9 )
→ x ≡ 2 1 3 3 ( m o d 1 8 ) ≡ 2 7 ≡ 1 2 8 ≡ 1 4 ( m o d 1 9 )
So we have x ≡ 2 ( m o d 7 ) , x ≡ 1 4 ( m o d 1 9 )
We can write x = 7 y + 2
→ x = 7 y + 2 ≡ 1 4 ( m o d 1 9 )
7 y ≡ 1 2 ( m o d 1 9 )
7 7 y ≡ 1 3 2 ( m o d 1 9 )
y ≡ 1 8 ( m o d 1 9 )
We can write this as y = 1 9 z + 1 8
x = 7 y + 2 = 7 ( 1 9 z + 1 8 ) + 2 = 1 3 3 z + 1 2 6 + 2 = 1 3 3 z + 1 2 8
→ x ≡ 1 2 8 ( m o d 1 3 3 )
