Multiplicative Inverse using Fermats theorm

Which of the following is a multiplicative inverse of $11^{23}$ modulo $59$?




  • $11^{21}$

  • $11^{22}$

  • $11^{25}$

  • $11^{35}$


  • $11^{60}$



I assume that I'm supposed to use Fermat's little theorem in order to show $11^{58}\equiv1\pmod{59}$.



And from there I could probably say that $11^58$ is equal to $11^{29}\times2$, so that's also an inverse.



But I can't see how I get to any of the answers listed.
