7 2 3 ≡ 7 × 7 2 2 ≡ 7 × 4 9 1 1 ≡ 7 × 4 1 1 ≡ 7 × 4 × 4 1 0 ≡ 2 8 × 1 6 5 ≡ 2 8 × 1 5 ≡ 2 8 ≡ 1 3 ( m o d 1 5 ) 8 7 9 ≡ 8 × 8 7 8 ≡ 8 × 6 4 3 9 ≡ 8 × 4 3 9 ≡ 3 2 × 4 3 8 ≡ 2 × 1 6 1 9 ≡ 2 × 1 1 9 ≡ 2 ( m o d 1 5 ) 1 1 1 0 5 ≡ 1 1 × 1 1 1 0 4 ≡ 1 1 × 1 2 1 5 2 ≡ 1 1 × 1 5 2 ≡ 1 1 ( m o d 1 5 ) ⇒ 7 2 3 + 8 7 9 + 1 1 1 0 5 ≡ 1 3 + 2 + 1 1 ≡ 1 1 ( m o d 1 5 )
