modular arithmetic - Use Euclid's Algorithm to find the multiplicative inverse



Use Euclid's Algorithm to find the multiplicative inverse of 13 in Z35




Can someone talk me through the steps how to do this? I am really lost on this one.



Thanks


Answer



Hint: 13 and 35 are relatively prime. Use the extended Euclidean algorithm to find the integers x and y such that:



13x+35y=1



From here, simply mod out by 35:




13x \equiv 1 \pmod{35}
