back to boardHow find 24^(-1) mod p Posted by svr 22 Sep 2007 22:32 One method uses formula a4=(t1^4-6*t1^2*t2+3*t2^2+8*t1*t3-6*t4)/24 mod p For it we must find previously 24^(-1) mod p But it needs in loop with ~ p=10^9 iterations May this calculation lead to TL before main program? Re: How find 24^(-1) mod p Why can't we use extended euclid? Re: How find 24^(-1) mod p or use fermat little theorem a^(p-1) = 1 (mod p) a^(p-2).a = 1 (mod p) so a^(-1) = a^(p-2) :) Re: How find 24^(-1) mod p // O(a) inline int inv(int a) { for (int i = 1; ; i++) { int64 b = (int64) P * i + 1; if (b % a == 0) return int(b / a); } return 0; } Re: How find 24^(-1) mod p Posted by svr 30 Sep 2007 09:39 Best advise was extended evclid I could apply it during the context. But 1560 wuild bettter to solve in Java using BigInt We simply use /24 at the end and avoid many %p operations. Re: How find 24^(-1) mod p a/b mod p = a*b^-1 mod p = a*b^(-1 mod p-1) mod p = a*b^(p-2) mod p. b^(p-2) can be precomputed using logarithmic powering. I needed only divisors 2, 6 and 24. |
