Solve 3⁷ mod 11 using:

Modular exponentiation

Build an algorithm:

n is our exponent = 7

y = 1 and u ≡ 3 mod 11 = 3

See here

n = 7 is odd

Since 7 is odd, calculate (y)(u) mod p

(y)(u) mod p = (1)(3) mod 11

(y)(u) mod p = 3 mod 11

3 mod 11 = 3
Reset y to this value

Determine u² mod p

u² mod p = 3² mod 11

u² mod p = 9 mod 11

9 mod 11 = 9
Reset u to this value

Cut n in half and take the integer

7 ÷ 2 = 3

n = 3 is odd

Since 3 is odd, calculate (y)(u) mod p

(y)(u) mod p = (3)(9) mod 11

(y)(u) mod p = 27 mod 11

27 mod 11 = 5
Reset y to this value

Determine u² mod p

u² mod p = 9² mod 11

u² mod p = 81 mod 11

81 mod 11 = 4
Reset u to this value

Cut n in half and take the integer

3 ÷ 2 = 1

n = 1 is odd

Since 1 is odd, calculate (y)(u) mod p

(y)(u) mod p = (5)(4) mod 11

(y)(u) mod p = 20 mod 11

20 mod 11 = 9
Reset y to this value

Determine u² mod p

u² mod p = 4² mod 11

u² mod p = 16 mod 11

16 mod 11 = 5
Reset u to this value

Cut n in half and take the integer

1 ÷ 2 = 0

Because n = 0, we stop

We have our answer

Final Answer

3⁷ mod 11 ≡ 9
