Let the number given be shortened to 1 9 2 9 n . Then
1 9 2 9 n ≡ 1 9 2 9 n m o d λ ( 1 0 0 ) (mod 100) ≡ 1 9 2 9 n m o d 2 0 (mod 100) ≡ 1 9 9 n m o d 2 0 (mod 100) ≡ 1 9 8 1 k × 9 m o d 2 0 (mod 100) ≡ 1 9 ( 8 0 + 1 ) k × 9 m o d 2 0 (mod 100) ≡ 1 9 9 (mod 100) ≡ ( 2 0 − 1 ) 5 ( 2 0 − 1 ) 4 (mod 100) ≡ ( − 1 ) 5 ( − 8 0 + 1 ) (mod 100) ≡ 7 9 (mod 100) Since g cd 1 9 , 1 0 0 = 1 , Euler’s theorem applies. Carmichael’s lambda function λ ( 1 0 0 ) = 2 0 Note that n is odd and let n = 2 k + 1
