"a" is an integer and "b" is a natural number. R = {a, a+1, ...,a + b - 1} Prove every integer is congruent to "modulo b" to some element of R
Added by Shawna R.
Step 1
The set \( R \) is defined as \( R = \{ a, a+1, a+2, \ldots, a+b-1 \} \). This set contains \( b \) consecutive integers starting from \( a \). Show more…

Let $m$ be a positive integer. Show that $a \equiv b(\bmod m)$ if $a$ mod $m=b$ mod $m .$
Suppose a, b, r, s ∈ Z are such that r, s ≥ 1. Prove that if a mod rs = b mod rs, then a mod r = b mod r and a mod s = b mod s.
