• Let I be the set of all integers and let m be a fixed positive integer. Two integers a and b are said to be congruent modulo m-symbolized by a is congruent to b (mod m) - if a - b is exactly divisible by m, i.e., if a - b is an integral multiple of m. Show that this is an equivalence relation , describe the equivalence set, and state the number of distinct equivalence sets.

• Congruence modulo 43 (alternatively, equivalence modulo 43)

  By the definition of congruence (modulo 43), we know that if "a," "b," "c," and "d" are elements of Q such that "ab" and "cd" are congruent (modulo 43) to the same element of Z_43, then the difference ab - cd is a multiple of 43. 5.
