I have a number of form: pn+p, where p is a prime number and n can be any large number, for example, say 1012.
What is the generic algorithm to compute (p^n + p) \pmod k, where k is a huge number say k=1000000007.
Thanks!
Answer
As you already know (a+b)mod n = ((a mod n) + (b mod n)) mod n .
So I guess addition here is not a problem.
The real question seems to be on p^n mod k where n is large. For that, have a look at Modular Exponentiation on wikipedia.
