Exercise · ZW-COMPLETE-RESIDUE-SYSTEM-002 · ★☆☆ Basic
Which of these sets is a complete residue system modulo \(5\)?
Choose one option.
Show answer
- D. \(\{0,1,2,3,4\}\)
Explanation
Its remainders \(0,1,2,3,4\) are all distinct upon division by \(5\). The others repeat a class: \(6\equiv1\), \(7\equiv2\) or \(10\equiv0\).
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 \(m\).
\[\{r_1,\dots,r_m\}\ \text{with}\ r_i\not\equiv r_j\ (\bmod\ m)\ \forall i\neq j\]
