Exercise · ZW-COMPLETE-RESIDUE-SYSTEM-001 · ★☆☆ Basic
How many elements must a complete residue system modulo \(7\) have?
Choose one option.
Show answer
- A. \(7\)
Explanation
There must be exactly one representative per class, and there are \(7\) classes modulo \(7\). Choosing \(6\) leaves one class uncovered.
Review the concept: Complete residue system
A complete residue system modulo \(m\) is a set of \(m\) integers that contains exactly one representative from each congruence class modulo \(m\).
\[\{r_1,\dots,r_m\}\ \text{with}\ r_i\not\equiv r_j\ (\bmod\ m)\ \forall i\neq j\]
