Original question and givens

Fix modulus n=5, natural a=40, b=67. Give (n, a, b, n>0?, [a mod n,b mod n] or not-evaluated, congruent? or not-evaluated). This entry excludes zero-modulus conventions.

  • G001 — Fix modulus n=5, natural a=40, b=67. Give (n, a, b, n>0?, [a mod n,b mod n] or not-evaluated, congruent? or not-evaluated). This entry excludes zero-modulus conventions.

Definition and scope

Use the original question domain, assumptions and cited MKO definitions. This item has second-context mathematical and bilingual review, with the model, answer and every arithmetic step independently recomputed from the original parameters; the source question remains a candidate.

Step-by-step derivation

S001 · implies

Before

fixed natural modulus candidate=5

After

positive modulus=Yes

Conditions: none

Congruence compares remainders at one positive modulus,not numerical equality.Multiplicative preservation does not permit unconditional cancellation of a common factor.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: fixed_positive_modulus_scope · Uses: G001

S002 · implies

Before

first remainder:natural dividend=40;positive divisor=5

After

40=8·5+0

Conditions: none

With a positive divisor show the complete quotient/remainder equality and0≤r<divisor.Modulo zero is not evaluated.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: positive_euclidean_division · Uses: G001, S001

S003 · implies

Before

second remainder:natural dividend=67;positive divisor=5

After

67=13·5+2

Conditions: none

With a positive divisor show the complete quotient/remainder equality and0≤r<divisor.Modulo zero is not evaluated.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: positive_euclidean_division · Uses: G001, S002

S004 · implies

Before

same positive modulus=5;remainders=[0, 2]

After

congruent=No

Conditions: none

The original a and b may differ;only their remainders at the same positive modulus must agree.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: same_modulus_remainder_equality · Uses: G001, S003

Reverse checks

  • S004 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.
  • S003 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.
  • S002 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.
  • S001 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.

Result

(5, 40, 67, Yes, [0, 2], No)

The full substitutions and premise checks give the original answer; source identity,format and status are unchanged.
