3. (GCD and Modulo Inverse) Please answer the following questions.
- (a) [Pro] (5 pts) Please write a Python/MATLAB function to calculate gcd of three integers a, b,
and c.
- (b) [Pro] (1 pts x 3 = 3 pts) Use the function you developed in part (a) to find the gcd of the following
integer values a, b, and c.
• a=−144,b=2058,c=302526
• a=3674160,b=−243,c=51030 • a=−733,b=−21379,c=46782
e.g., a = 15, b = 28, and m = 10
Ans: (i)(15+28)(mod10)=43(mod10)=3(mod10)
(ii) 15 (mod 10) + 28 (mod 10) = 5 (mod 10) + 8 (mod 10) = 13 (mod 10) = 3 (mod 10)
e.g., a = 15, b = 28, and m = 10
Ans: (i)(15·28)(mod10)=420(mod10)=0(mod10)
(ii) 15 (mod 10) · 28 (mod 10) = 5 (mod 10) · 8 (mod 10) = 40 (mod 10) = 0 (mod 10)

[Com] (2 pts x 5 = 10 pts) Please find i) (a−1) (modm) and ii) a (modm) and
(a (mod m))−1 (mod m) for each values of a and m given below. You are allowed to use calcula- tors or Python codes provided in the class. However, your answers must include the computaion steps as shown below.

[Pro] (5 pts) Find out how much time is taken to calculate inverses in each of the cases in part c). For example if you are using “modulo inverse naive” python function provided in the “Mapping English Alphabet to Integers And Modulo Arithmetic” notebook, you may use the following code to calculate run time.
Sample python code for calculating run time associated with “modulo inverse naive” python function provided in the “Mapping English Alphabet to Integers And Modulo Arithmetic” notebook.
(e) [Com] (5 pts) Do you observe any specific pattern in the run times computed in part d)? If so, briefly explain the reason for your observations in part d.
4. [Com] (Modulo Arithmetic, 3 pts x 6 = 18 pts) Please find the answers for the following questions using the properties of modulo arithmetic. You are allowed to use calculators or Python codes provided in the class. However, your answers must include the computaion steps as shown below.

(c) ((−543 − 4652) · (−75 + 976)) (mod 256) (d) (31132 · (−782)) (mod 2048)

(f) (((−35 · 3) + 7762)−7 · ((−5462)2 − (2161)−1)5) (mod 12235)
(c)
e.g., a = 33 and m = 10
Ans: gcd(33, 10) = 1. Therefore, 33−1 (mod 10) exists.
(i) 33−1 (mod 10) = 7 (mod 10)
(ii) (33 (mod 10))−1 (mod 10) = 3−1 (mod 10) = 7 (mod 10)
(d)
Figure 1:
e.g., (33−1 · 12 − 142) (mod 10)
Ans: gcd(33, 10) = 1. Therefore, 33−1 (mod 10) exists.
(33 (mod 10))−1 · 12 (mod 10) − (14 (mod 10))2 = (3−1 (mod 10)) · (2 (mod 10)) − 42 (mod 10) = (7 (mod 10)) · (2 (mod 10)) − 16 (mod 10) = 14 (mod 10) − 6 (mod 10)
= 4 (mod 10) − 6 (mod 10) = −2 (mod 10) = 8 (mod 10).
