Quote:0504^1109 = ____ (mod 2881)
How to fill in this blank above?
I assume you mean how do you calculate 504^1109.
The easiest and simplest method is to do this in windows calculator:
504^1109 = 9.896119206912106898089193835195e+2996
Then take that value and do mod 2881 on it (you can do that in calculator too)
plaintext = 504^1109 mod 2881 = 400 (<- that was the value I got)
