Original question and givens

Use prime p=3, nonzero summands a=126, b=135; their sum may be zero. Give (p, a, b, valuation_a, valuation_b, sum, valuation_sum, minimum_valuation, ultrametric_inequality, valuations_unequal, equality_when_unequal_or_not_guaranteed).

  • G001 — Use prime p=3, nonzero summands a=126, b=135; their sum may be zero. Give (p, a, b, valuation_a, valuation_b, sum, valuation_sum, minimum_valuation, ultrametric_inequality, valuations_unequal, equality_when_unequal_or_not_guaranteed).

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.
