By Euler's theorem 1 9 92 ( m o d 92 ) 1 9 4 ( m o d 92 ) 19^{92} \pmod{92} \equiv 19^4 \pmod{92} . As ϕ ( 92 ) = 44 \phi(92) = 44 so ( 1 9 44 ) 2 = 1 9 88 ( m o d 92 ) 1 ( m o d 92 ) (19^{44})^2 = 19^{88} \pmod{92} \equiv 1 \pmod{92} .

Now 1 9 2 ( m o d 92 ) 85 m o d 92 19^2 \pmod{92} \equiv 85 \mod{92} .

1 9 4 ( m o d 92 ) 8 5 2 ( m o d 92 ) ( 7 ) 2 ( m o d 92 ) 49 ( m o d 92 ) \therefore 19^4 \pmod{92} \equiv 85^2 \pmod{92} \equiv (-7)^2 \pmod{92} \equiv \boxed{49} \pmod{92}
